    If I win $800 from my fantasy football league should I get hammer hangers or wheels?

    Ok so I think I can answer some of your questions here. I have the 4.88s on 35s and the 5spd auto at 80 im running about 2800ish 70 is about 2500. Definitely get the 4.88s it'll be a lot better.

    Yeah that should be perfect. I’m at around 1800 RPM at 65 right now with stock gears haha.

    Yeah it sucks. I actually am getting better fuel mileage now than with stock gears. Less effort to get the truck moving and maintaining speed plus no lag and kicking out of OD on the hwy

    I've been told by several people that hammers were the best thing for how the suspension feels next to custom valved shocks.

    @Brian422 how is the ARB front locker set up? I get the pneumatics, but is there some sort of solenoid that engages the valve or what? Also curious how easy/dangerous it would be to accidentally engage it. I don’t ride around town with my tank filled up, but still wondering if I need to put the rocker switch somewhere safer.

    Mine is on the center console. You have to turn on the compressor switch before the locker switches. There is a little solenoid attached at the compressor that sends the air to the locker

    Yes there is a solenoid, is your compressor switch activated from the cab? It would be very hard to not notice the locker engaged. Plus I don’t think it would even lock up if you weren’t in 4wd. I’ve never accidentally hit my locker switches. I have my front locker setup on mine to where my rear has to be engaged first to activate the front. But I have 2 arb lockers.

    The solenoid goes between the compressor and the locker, mine is set up so the compressor and the locker switch both have to be on to engage the locker
