Depends on a ton of factors.

What do you plan on doing the most? Daily driver? Rock Crawling? Mudding?

In general, the 3.73s and 4.10s have been good to most with 35".

But if you want a real chart to take a look at:

You're probably best off with the 3.73 or 4.10s you have.

Best MPGs will fall in that range, generally. Especially since being a DD you don't need a TON of performance and that 3.6L Pentastar is a bigger beast than a lot of people want to give it credit for
