If you really like your current wheels and tires and don't need the strength of an axle or brake upgrade, you may want to stick with a gear swap.

My truck had factory 3.08s, I swapped front and rear axles from a 1989 k10 suburban with 3.73s. Everything was a direct swap, and I kept my nice 6 lug wheels. There is big difference in power to the ground between 3.08sand 3.73s, especially if you have tall tires. I have a thread on the swap somewhere on here.
