    Yeah my gas mileage is decent with the 4.56s. I get around 17 with mixed driving on my 33s and it doesn't get much better on the interstate due to high rpms at 70+ mph. I recently put some steel wheels and 31s on it for commuting. Now I am getting around 20 mpg. 4hi still sucks and I will stall on hills too. That was why I think 4.88s would be better.

    Well I am on per diem for the next 3-1/2 months with mileage being reimbursed so collecting @ $105 per day gives me some truck money. I debated between icons, kings and fox. It just seemed that king has the better reputation and I already cheaped out the first time with OME. They aren't bad, but the coils are not strong enough for my current setup. Also the coilovers will let me cure the stupid lean.

    I almost went OME but coil overs have way more potential and versatility. It was a no brainer. You'll love them dude! :D

    How much better are the H4 conversion headlights than the sealed beams? My adjusters and everything are all rusted and shot so I need to upgrade in the near future.

    Man, they are twice as bright with a wider beam. High beams are great also. I'll try to post some night pics when it gets dark.

    Stupid Atlanta.. can't deal with snow. My coilovers arrived at the ups hub this morning, and who knows when they will arrive. :banghead: at least they should be here for the weekend.

    Got a little bro lean. Tried to adjust it out but the first try was unsuccessful. Hope the 700# coils weren't overkill. The ome 590# coils just didn't do well with all the weight I have added.

    Finally no more taco lean! I'll post pics when Firestone finishes the alignment. Broke down and got the lifetime alignment. I've only paid 4 times to have it aligned in the past 9 months.......
