Default Ford Lightning - Final Drive

I really like the 2nd Generation Ford Lightnings (99-04).

However I don't NEED a race-truck.. I don't need a truck that's capable of 13seconds down the track.

with gas prices now-a-days.. the better gas milage the better.

the first batch of 2nd Gen. Lightnings (99-00) came out with 360HP and 3.55 Gear Rear.. estimating 20MPG Highway.

the second batch of lightnings (01-04) came out with 380HP and 3.73 Gear Ratio estimating only 17MPG Highway.

----------------------

so heres the question...

is it possible to put a smaller gear like say 308 or something to better it's gas mileage??

Many of you strive on Ford Performance, esp if it's SVT.. but to be honest.. to each his own. I want a truck, not a race truck, and I love the Lightning Model. so please.. no bashing.

I know nothing about fords, and possibilities.
so any information would be greatly appreciated.
