im curious to know what your rpms are at 60mph? im turning right at 2K with my 35's.

It's been so long since I've ran gasoline I don't remember but 2-3mpg probably. It's like running 14-32 slicks at the strip.

I'm a tad under 3000 rpm's at 70 now. These engines will run all day long like that. I shift manually at 4-4500 on the street and with the trans kit it barks the tires going into 3rd.

They look better in person...in the pics they look weird for some reason...an i like them because there is a ring of LED lights around the bulb that lights up with the brake an signal to make them a little brighter

They look really good! Did you have to modify the brackets for the steps or did they bolt right up?

I'm in Ann Arbor. My truck is actually for sale if you guys know anyone in MI that is looking.

str8t six:
Thanks man. These pictures were taken after a car wash haha. I'll take some pictures tonight of the LEDs

and FordGuy24:
They required some modding. For the front bracket I used the original holes in the truck and drilled different holes in the bracket to match up. On the rear bracket I had to drill different holes in the truck and used the stock holes on the bracket. I also had to drill different holes in the steps where they mounted to the brackets. It was a pain in the *** to drill the holes under the truck and put the piece that the bolts go into behind the holes.
