You will be better off with the 3.73's and a T-350 on the street. You make enough power that the little bit of extra gear going to 4.11's isn't worth the extra RPM while cruising down the highway. You can push the steeper gear without needing to downshift on every little hill with the power you have.

They are pretty common gears in the truck 12-bolt too so you may be able to pick some up in decent used shape for cheap.
