    Without those mounts though things will start to overflex and jarr and you'll be left with little sheet metal tears like the one on your core support

    Alright cool thats what I was wondering about.

    And I cant remember if the double cabs have the same # of body mount bushings as the extended cabs? Or if I have to pickup a different set because of the doublecab?

    Supercharger wasn't handled very gently in shipping and seems to have fallen on it at one point and it bent and pulled some threads out with it. It's better now than it was before thanks to a 1/8 pipe thread tap and a nice new port. Also bent one of the throttle body studs, luckily the threads in the charger were fine and I was able to remove the stud.

    That's basically all FedEx. They're terrible, but luckily no lasting damage, all stuff I could fix in a day.

    I just did all my body mount bushings and replaced them with energy suspension and they seemed to do the job well.

    I dunno if you’re being serious or not, I’m gonna assume you are.

    I get 17ish with tall skinnys. Just going off what my trip odo says. So maybe I get more than I think?

    Would fuel/ air filter affect mileage a lot?

    air filter will for sure. If mine takes a big dip, i just swap in a new filter and get up to 2-3mpg back.

    I have tall skinnies too. Does fine on most roads. throw in some hills though and good bye mileage.

    I need to find a dry filter for my stupid intake pipe deal. Ive never replaced the fuel filter in nearly 80k and who know what was done before I had it.

    I still got decent mileage driving to Salt Lake and back pulling a trailer one way, better than I thought anyway. Not complaining, just curious mainly.

    i need to replace the volant air intake on my truck shitty filter for sure. maybe i should step up the A-game and go snorkel. i would benefit from all the dust i deal with on the dirt roads here. but will a snorkel be ok with a SC and 7th injector?
