    Me too. Mines a 3rd Gen V6 on 33's with 5.29's and no sway bars. I've got Kings all the way around with OME 861's in the rear. It handles just like a race truck, or at least that's what I try and tell myself. lol

    Shit I though I was geared short with 4.88s on 33s. You must have a top speed of like 75 mph

    I’d go double shear if you haven’t ordered anything yet. @deeezy had a good looking stock setup.

    295/70/17's with 5.29's and I sit at 2800 RPM's at 75 MPH in OD. If it drops into third to hold a hill I'm at 3700ish. Way better then being in second at 65 MPH and 5000 RPM's with the stock gears. I love this gear set/tire combo. I'll go to 35's but I'll miss the 33's. lol

    I think he had 9’s, but Tacoma so idk. Getting the mounts first is really the best way, but I would go shorter over longer, too long and they don’t do a damn thing.

    And on the subject of panhard, here’s mine with no bracket, 3/4” or so iirc over stock length, sitting dead in the middle of 12” of travel, just a hair off of flat.

    I am not too far off from y’alls numbers. I like the power down low and I still managed to get a hair under 17mpg on the highway.
    I’m at about 2700 at 70.

    I want to get this added on mine, it makes sense to me that it helps handling. I just don't know how to weld, and I haven't found someone I trust to weld on my truck down here. I haven't looked real hard either though...

    Let me know when you get one of them out here to weld for you.

    Just remember, the other cars might be faster on the road, but you're faster in the dirt. And across the train tracks and rough intersections.

    I was noticing my RPMs this weekend on 4.10s and 33's. 80 mph and I'm just over 2500. Probably why it's easier to maintain 80mph uphill than 70mph...
