    Last fill up, was 13mpg. Damn! What a change from the previous setup. With the lift, and spacers installed I may need to get an alignment to help nurse a couple of those mpg's back in the fray.

    I can tell things arent quite right with the new setup. Tires feel out of balance (sometimes). I get some head shake at the steering wheel, but not all the time. So Im guessing wheels out of balance + and alignment too. Ahh the joys of upgrades.... LOL
    Winter gas? I never thought of that.... Seems pretty warm still to switch formulas already...

    Shifts wheel between the body vs the front bumper. You need good caster otherwise you could be rubbing hard on the body mount when turning.

    It pulls the wheel forward or backwards depending on how you lift it or lower it. The higher you lift it the more negative castor you have hence a possibility of rubbing against the fender or body mounts. There's more to it but that's the basics of it.

    If you swap that it might ride better. A little higher psi in the front to compensate for the engine weight and less bounce in the rear.
    Did you update your suspension and not get an alignment after?
