This option would not be as cheap as changing ring and pinions, but it would give the best of both. You would have the 3.73 for towing and with a .78 overdrive the equivalent to a 2.91 for flat land fuel economy. Rpms would drop from 2000 at 68 MPH to 1540.
I had a Doug Nash/U&S gear overdrive on my old '73 Chevy C30 with a Perkins 354 Turbo Diesel. Too bad US Gear does not make overdrives that bolt up between out transmissions and transfer cases.
