    What kind of mpg's are you getting with the 37's and 5.29's? I found 5.29's on craigslist but I do a lot of highway driving right now so I'm just curious.

    15 mpg city, and around 19-20mpg highway. For 37s, I would never recommend anything higher than 5.29s.... even with a lot of highway driving.

    That's not terrible. 5.29's will probably be what I go with. May just stick with 35's though since they are much cheaper haha. Worried about taching 3k going down the highway though..

    hmm... what's your usual cruising speed? 35s and 5.29s were bearable on the highway for me if I kept it under 70-75 mph. :eek: Best gas mileage was around 60 or 65 if not a bit lower...

    Then 35s and 5.29s probably wouldn't be to bad for you... The rpms might be a little higher than you're used to, but not unbearable... You'd be around 2500 or 2600 rpm at 70 with that setup.
    :ohsnap:



    lol Thanks! :D

    Made this.

    Cause I was bored... that's why. It's currently bolted in place of the cat and now the green dragon scares the pants off anyone near it when I turn the key. ;)
