usually a performance chip (don't get the JET performance chips). I belong to dodge forum dot com and you should go there and do a search in the 3rd gen section.
Most mods, such as CAI, chip, and exhaust mods tend to do very little considering the cost you must put in to the truck.
 
Lifts, and oversized tires are bigggggg killers of MPG. stock tires, no lift, and a light foot is the only way. Going with higher octane has been proven to NOT improve mileage. Also, when you get a chip, it advances the timing and you will HAVE to use higher octane fuel.
 
going with higher octane is only needed to cure engine knock, due to advanced timing or other issues.
 
good luck.

Did you upgrade the speedometer/odometer to reflect the larger diameter tires?
 
If not, you are traveling farther and faster than the speedometer/odometer are showing!
