    Was that just a 2-1/4" muffler? If so, I would imagine it didn't really affect the low end power.

    Thinking ab upgrading front shocks to adjustable 5100 bilsteins on stock coils set on like the 2nd or third notch to level truck has anyone done this ? Getting info for my truck bring a regular cab has been tough ? Don’t want coil spacers and adjustable shocks is where I’m at now . Don’t kno if I should upgrade springs to 883 with the bilsteins or just use stock coils

    Somewhere I thought I read that 886’s were the tallest we could fit. But I could be completely off. And with enough modification I suppose anything is possible...

    In a dilemma that I was hoping I could get some insight on. So I have a 2011 reg cab auto with 58k that has been in Florida it’s whole life. No accidents and driven by an old guy. Don’t like how much gas I need to give it in order for her to go up hills. Was talking with some guy and he said that he was willing to trade his 2014 with 82k that’s a manual (heard it’s better for the 2.7) for mine straight up and said it’s been in no accidents as well although it’s been on a shitty performance 3in level for the last 4 years so idk if that could have done damage. Although mine has sliders on it as well I could get em taken off and put on mine. The truck has been in Iowa it’s whole life tho. What would you guys do? Any suggestions?

    Yep.
    How many big hills are in Florida o_O lol

    Kidding aside, this seems like personal preference and you have to make that call. Start laying out your pro's and cons list.

    '11 vs '14 style
    Manual vs Auto
    MGM vs ???
    etc...

    The 2.7 likes to run, so don't be afraid to let her loose when you need to :thumbsup:

    I'd just hang on to the 2011....Iowa probably = salt in winter. Get a LCE header and lightest tires that are doable and/or regear slightly to make the auto more driveable.
