I rub a little when i first got mine because i didnt trim and it rubed when i was fully locked and hit a bump. But it you lift your truck dont worry about gas, these trucks suck it down when there stock, best thing that helped me out was going with 4.88s, but the edge helped to, watch your speed and rpms 45-55mph works best for me, and intake and exaust help.

run best on 87??? Always put the highest octane you can afford. At least thats true around here. I think our "Supreme" is a 91 octane.
