    What kind of mileage are you looking at with 4.56 and 33's?

    4.56 have been great for my DD mileage, but highway speeds >70 aren't too friendly..

    but normal useage, i'm at 15-17 or so, with the occasional 18mpg

    70-80mph it'll be down 13-18 depending on the terrain

    so on long cruises you need to keep an eye on your engine load and rpms, and not be in a rush..

    from what i dug up in the past is that 4.56 and 35 will be close to stock with a slight increase in torque, but 4.56 will definitely give you more torque but ratios are screwed when it comes to your speed and rpms...i'm hoping the 34s will be a good in between to keep some of that torque and help out a bit with the highway speeds

    You have Jerry's shock relocation stuff right? Hurry up and go to 35s so I can see if there are any issues :D. I want to go straight to 35s and extend my rear shocks sometime next year.

    I have been trying to figure out a rack system like this for awhile (one that works over the supertop). I don't even know where to start.

    I've thought about trying to scrap the supertops' OEM mounting system all together and creating one that is smaller, more secure, modular and could be incorporated into a rack (either both rack and top, or either alone).

    Do you have more pictures or specs on how you did this?
