Ring & pinion issues

I'm looking for suggestions or comments.. Thanks..
The story: Purchased a 67 3/4 ton, th400, Eaton rear, 32" commercial truck tireson 16 " rims, Drum brakes- 8 lug,,,
Truck was carrying an Alaskan POPup camper ( approx 1600lbs ). i had wanted to ditch the tall tires to rid myself of the tire 'wine' on the freeway.....

I sold the camper to pay for a disc brake/ power booster set up, Then added drop spindles & coils. Found a great set 8 lug- 17" Weld Conehead wheels, added a set of Continental radials- only the tires are 28" tall.

Question - did GM offer other diff. that were 8-lug but w' taller gearing, I must have 4:10 gears.
any help or suggestions please..
Thanks, jim
