NOT 4.10's. You want the smallest numbers for highway driving...perhaps
3.21, certainly not any higher than 3.55's.
Yes, less aggressive tread will buy you mileage and less tire wear.
Lower vehicle won't buy any performance
Sway bars won't give you anything on the highway, only for hard cornering.

Subject: DML: Highway cruiser how-to???
Due to my new job (same company), and future re-location, I will be spending
sometime driving on the highways.
what is the best way to turn my 98 V6 sport into a nice highway cruiser?
change gearing to 4.10's
change to a less aggressive tread pattern during summer?
lower vehicle?
add better sway bars?
also my hill climbing speeds suck any ideas?
p.s. please keep in mind, I will be towing with this vehicle in the near
future, and need to drive during winter.
