Crazy Longhorn - rearend question

Saw your post about changing rearends. I've got to do so, and just used the formula to determine that I have 411's now. I have a 700R4 and I run 3400 RPM at 75 MPH. Changing to a 307/308 would put me at 2500 at 75 MPH, which is where I would like to be. Someone told me this would make my truck a real dog off the line. I'm hoping it will not. I've been told that the 14 bolt 8 lug rear I have only has 3 gear choices, 391, 411 or 456. None of these will make me happy. I have a later model rear with 8 lugs, I'll open it up and see what gears it has. Do you think 307 gears will be ok with the 402/700R4?
