DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Well there ya go.

 

4.56 is awesome with 285/75R16 and 285/70R17 so it would be ok for 315s. 4.88 would probably be better for 315s. @trekker and @dwaltdtx could speak to that better.

 

I love my 4.88s with 35s. Shifts are better than stock gearing/tires, but then again I haul a lot of weight around. If you're not going to be fully armored up and carry a bunch of bullshit in the bed or tow a trailer, 4.56s will work just fine and will keep your highway RPMs a little lower too for fuel economy improvements (if that's a concern... I stopped gaf about that a long time ago).

 

Just curious, what do you get mpg wise anyway?

 

I was gonna ask you next time I saw you what you thought.

 

My truck isn't terribly heavy since front bumper and skids are aluminum so 4.56 on 33s is great. If you are doing hybrid bumpers I'd go 4.56, if you plan on adding a lot more weight 4.88

 

@Coot83 is running 315s on 4.56

 

Mine is def a little sluggish with all skids, steel bumpers, and sliders...but after I get up to speed I maintain it on trail so it isn't a big deal.

Bro, how do you have aluminum skids...THIS IS MADNESS!

 

@Naveronski did you get that Pro installed yet? How do you like it?

 

They are a little scarred but front and mid weigh less than the steel front. They are more effected by the abuse I throw at them but they've stopped a lot of rocks and stumps with no damage to the truck.

 

If you are talking about dash cams I'm thinking about buying a mini 0906 from Ali baba which does bulk discounts. They are $110 on eBay but $81-88 on Ali baba

 

My truck is supercharged with 100 lb wheels and tires at each corner and I do 80 everywhere I go... so perhaps my mileage isn't the best example... but I get about 12-14 smiles per gallon.

 

Mine are pretty fucked up since I sit a little lower with being SUA in the rear. I don't mind the dings, but having the aluminum slowly fold around what they protect is what would bother me. On some cool shit, I just got a front camera kit with a sony cam! Looking forward to that!

 

I need a link for that ish.

 

I get 15 with 32s and no armor etc, so not doing too shabby.

 

Yea, I was talking about the F800 Pro. Today's the last day for the buy, and I'm on the list, I was interested in feedback about it. I've also heard really good things about the Falcon Zero, it's got a lot of features, and is right at $100.

Anyone looking for a SSO front bumper?

He is in Tyler and could bring it next week to Gilmer! Good price and the bumper is brand new and has not been installed.

Fits 2nd Gen

 

Dashcamtalk lists the F800 Pro as #3 of best premium cameras, lists the falcon zero as Chinese junk.

 

Who did your gear installs? 4.88 prob next upgrade for me
