I wish I had got that on my truck when I first lifted it. I was getting 8 -10 mpg both city and highway depending on how my foot was feeling altho the dash was reading 14 mpg which was false due to the computer not yet knowing the truck was pushing 37's. Until I got the edge programmer mine would not show correctly. With 37's, edge cts, duals, and intake I am now pulling 10.2 mpg both between city and highway driving and this past weekend 8.4 while towing my boat. Towing the boat was also something I could not do on the 37's prior to putting in the 4.88's. The truck didn't have the power to do it, nor could I manage to muster up the speed to comfortably pass people. You will be shocked at how different the truck will move after the regear and programmer.

good to hear the gears helped. I could definately notice the power loss in the hills as it was trying to find the right gear to be in. I already noticed a improvement when i swapped out my hypertech for a custom tuned sct

Alright there seems to be some rubbing of the cv boot on the rize shock extension. Does anyone know what could be done?

Extreme offroad sucks! My cv rubbing was due to the strut extensions being on the wrong side.
