Default Re Gearing Time

Ok so this week I've decided to re gear my axle. I was thinking about putting 410 gears in. I have 342 gears now with 33''s tires. It's mainly just for the street but I was looking for something with better highway results. I'm not sure if 410 will improve fuel economy or decrease fuel economy either? Can anyone help me

I think town mpg may get better, as the motor wont have to lug as much to turn the 33's
I'm running 35's with 4.56 gears, I get better mpg town & hiway than I did with 3.73 gears & 32's
Hiway, just try to keep rpm's under 2k.

Hey sick blazer by the way. I've never seen yours. But yah I do a lot of highway driving I was hoping to find something a little better overall for town and highway given this isnt my offroading vehicle. I've even heard that just by going to 373's I should see some difference overall
