I really like those tires. Truck looks good.

rough country 7.5 inch lift, 35x12.5x20 cooper discover stts, 20x10 inch xd rockstar. Thanks guys appreciate the input! Gas mileage = awful though

Truck looks badda$$. With the lift and 35s you might want to check into doing gears. Not sure what gears you have now. What is awful? I get 10mpg with my 03 city driving. Leveled on 33s with 3.73s.

Nicely done, congrats

Damn.. looks good!

Looks good. Your MPG may not be as bad as you think, if you haven't had your computer/speedo programmed to match the larger tires......although I'm sure it's still considerably lower than stock. The price of cool isn't cheap!

You definitely need a custom tune and gears.

 

I have heavy 37s and 3.73s with a BBP tune and get 14.5 highway. Once I get 4.88s installed, My city mileage should increase by 0.5-1 mpg

Looks good!

 

Frog I hate to break it to you but it likely won't. I never saw any better than that when I had my 35s. I haven't driven my truck much since the 37s.

Not in the city? i figured (and heard) that a lower gear will help increase mileage a little in the city by making it easier to turn the 37s?

 

Anyways, its not a dealbreaker. If it was, I would have left the truck stock! Can't wait to regear.

 

Just need to decide between the TrueTrac and the ValuTrac

Right now i got 3.42 gears, I got the speedo recalibrated to suit the 35 inch tires, I would love to regear but my funds are a little spent at the moment haha. Plus it doesnt matter what offroad shop i talk to, the qutoe i keep getting is around the $2000 range which seems high to me for 4.56's. havent run through a full tank of gas yet to calculate the mileage myself but i do mostly city driving.

[Frogfish]

Gears for front and rear should be about $400-500 in parts, and installation should be about $350 per axle

Speaking of re-gear Im thinking id really like to go 4;56 when i get the 6" lift done and am running a 35/36 inch tire.. I like to have the pwr and tq rite there when needed and i should be good with the 4:56,s

@frog what tranny is in your truck? and why 4:88 and not 4:56? are you going with taller then 37,s..

 

The only thing im afraid of is the cost.. With an 11.5 ring gear,
