    I have an automatic and very heavy wheels and tires. I took a trip a month or so ago with stock exhaust and noticed it kinda struggled through the mtns. I took the same trip last weekend and it didn't need to down shift as much, ha better acceleration, and at cruising speed I found myself having to constantly back out of the throttle becuase just steadily sneaking up in speed. All the benefits are in the lower end of the rpm range as far as torque and power.

    It is noticeable that it's there
    Rear tires don't slip at all in wet conditions

    MPg which I expected to drop has improved by 1.2 mpg

    Tell me if you see a difference. The LCE has equal length full length tubes.

    I've considered a shell but with the added weight of a bumper (aluminum so weight is minimal), soon sliders, and then skids I was thinking I was pushing the weight aready

    Sounds like it is something I need. I have an automatic as well and the bigger tires I put on had a noticeable negative effect on acceleration.

    Each wheel and tire on my truck weighs rt at 90 pounds. The header's benefits pretty much negated them

    I picked up a shell for cheap, I will let you know what happens after install. I'm not currently running any armor though so that may skew any differences.

    I might see some improvements on the lower end if that is the case.

    90lb?!!

    Wow

    I had a flat and changed tires myself

    Both the spare and regular wheel tire I could lift very easily

    I didn't measure it but I would say maybe 40-45lb .is that possible ?

    16x7 oem with 225/70/16 Cooper


    If I had 90lb per corner, my truck would not even move

    Those eyelids look awesome on there. Did you buy them off eBay? There was a guy on here that use to make and sell them, that's where I got mine. Little hard to see in this pic but figured I'd post an action shot.
