What Gear Ratio Would Be Best in my Lifted Chevy Silverado?

[Chopps]

i just got a 1998 Chevy Silverado 2 wheel drive, 5.0 engine and its got 35's on it... stock gears are still in the *** end. not sure what they are (or how to find out) but i get horrible gas mi-liege. i wont be doing too much off roading and i dont drag race it, just want to know what gear ratio would be the best option to get it back to stock gas mi liege and torque or better. thanks in advance to any and all that respond.

My first question is have you corrected your odometer for the tire size change? With the bigger tires your odometer will indicate less than you actually traveled so if you're using an uncorrected odometer your mileage might not be as bad as you think. Other than that go with the lowest rear end you can find.
