which box would fit me better?

I would like to get a power box but dont know which one would be best for me. I have a 04, 305HP I dont think its a 04.5. It has 285's MT on it but will replace before winter when there ***** out, will go back to OEM BFG 265's since I can't get 20MPG out of it empty driving 65, I think this is the biggest culprirt for my fuel mileage. I drive 500 miles per week to work and want a little beter fuel mileage. I also do not want to spend any more than I need to.
I am thinking a Smarty JR (since I can readjust tire size latter) The truck has enough goose for me pulling mt GN trailers except when passing but a lot more miles empty.
A few more horses would be nice and some low boost smoke

but more MPG is the main goal, truck has 97K on it now.
Any thoughts???
Thanks
DDT
