    I may add an elbow to my next Camelback order and play around with this idea.

    4:56 seems to do well for a manual trans and 33's from what I hear.

    I'm auto and want to jump to 35's when I get new tires so 4:88's are definitely for me. 5:29's is too much for something that's going to see more highway than off road imo
    My first one and I love it.

    Love MTB's as well, you're making me miss NM... :(

    I don't mind sweating, I can drink water. I hate the cold though.
    If you're keeping with 33's then 4:56 would do you good I think.
    Yeah, I think the deck plate mod and elbow removal just allows more air in, not necessarily cooler air. I've just been told that the deck plate has minor gains in mpg.

    I'm auto too obviously, but don't plan on 35s. I don't wheel enough for them. They look badass though lol.

    I don't wheel enough for anything other than a stock truck right now... :eek:

    But some day I will get out of this terrible state and wheel much more. Only a matter of time....

    Found them somewhere else for $800. Not as bad considering what many custom LED projectors would cost.

    My dad put $800 LED headlights on his harley and it was easily the best upgrade he's done yet. They are brighter than my HIDs and light up the ditches better. It was worth it for a motorcycle.

    Do you have a manual or auto?

    If you have an auto, please get 5.29's and 35's before I regear. I'd be interested to hear your impressions of it on the highway...
