    Your truck is a beast now! With my setup I’m getting about 14mpg. Did you figure out how much you’re getting?

    I know I'm getting a bit less milage, but I've never really kept track of milage.

    I keep track from time to time to make sure it’s not running poor compare to other Tacoma’s with the same setup, for maintenance purposes.

    I drive pretty much the exact same miles to work every week... If I had to stop more for gas, I'd notice something wrong. lol

    I feel like your truck needs an upgrade... rear shocks and springs maybe?

    You mean shocks like these? lol

    These are going to take some work. :eek:

    Like Chevy 63s, u-bolt flip, relocate shocks behind axle, cross member for upper shock mounts, and a 1 inch body lift to make them fit.
