It's just an unending feeling of money flowing out....

side note. how do you like the PSC body armor? I don't remember when you added it.

I can't imagine that 4.10's with 37's, my 3.73s with 35s for 2 years were bad enough. highway driving is much better since going to 5.13s.

I'm running 37s with the 4.10s. It's tolerable with the Superchips tow tune compensating to some degree. Going with 5.38s as soon as I can afford it.

I had 4.10 stock with 32's. Went to 35's noticed a little upset but nothing major. Decided to do gears for the heck of it. Holy crap! It's amazing. Running 5.13 with 35 on my 2dr (going 37 soon) but even for 35's it's amazingly zippy now

I think a big question is are you runnin an auto or manual? I run 38's on my manual Rubi with 4.10s and i think it's completely liveable. 16.5 mpgs around town, about the same on the highway as long as i keep it around 70 (provided its not TOO windy lol). Honestly on the highway i usually end up drafting a semi thats moving pretty good and get 18mpg-ish.

Now i can only imagine how horrible it would be with an auto...
