    I really don't know and to be honest, it's been pissing me off. I was expecting around 22mpg, not this crap. all my fluids are clean, I'm changing to synthetic oil soon. I really don't get it. All I can think is it's simply because I mostly drive in the city and for only short distances.I also drive the truck only 1-2x a week. My wife and I work together and take her pilot to work mostly. Even when doing a lot of freeway driving though, the best I have seen on a tank is 20...

    See, this is what I was worried by. ahhhh. ok, well I'll sit on it for a minute and see what I think. Maybe I'll just go one size up to 265/75. who knows.

    Thanks. No HDR here. I never touch it. There's a bit of vignetting that I added, which might be what you're seeing.

    Well I either have 4.30 or 4.56 gears since mine is the B07A. But I am kinda leaning towards the 4.30 since my truck only has 245/75/r16 off a 2nd gen. and has absolutely no low end whatsoever, and this is with some performance goodies. It just sits there and bogs down before it does anything. But any how I LOVE you truck!!!!! If you dont mind me asking how much was the entire lift? Just wondering because Iv got to do something because my leafs are shot and I might as well do it big while Im at it.

    Well from what I understand with the B07A it was either 4.30's or 4.56's. It says on the link posted that one person had the B07A and he actually had 4.56's, also I have asked a few people about it with the same answer "either 4.30's or 4.56's".

    And yes you win 1000 more free posts:D

    how much, as in $$$ or height?

    I don't know the height as I forgot to measure before I started. Right now, the front is at 38.5" from center of fender flare to ground, and the rear is at 38".

    It cost me $1060 total, but I still have to get it aligned.

    Bilsteins from Downsouth on special for $295.99
    OME 880s from Wheeler's - $153.00
    Wheeler's 5 leaf - $459.00
    Rack bushigns - $18.95
    toytec shock bushings - $30.88
    shipping from Wheeler's - ~$130 (which sucks)

    It was a bit expensive, but I got a full leaf pack, not an AAl.
