near future mods - what do you think

First off, I have a regular cab STX with 22's. I plan to change out my gears for 4.10's, flip the rear axle or install drop shackles and get an xcal2 tuner. What are you guys' thoughts on this plan?

Gears and a programmer will help a lot with those bigass rollers. Sounds like a good plan of attack to me.

I've got 22s with 305/40/22 rubbers and I went from factory 3.55s to 4.1 and I am very happy. Lost about 1 mpg, but gained oodles off acceleration without a doubt. Haven't done the programmer though, as I think I'm going with the Roush charger + the programmer.

Oh, I did a flip kit as well... my warning on that is be ready for it to bottom out, there just simply isn't enough room without a c-notch on the frame.

sounds like a good plan, but only if you show pics when done, burnout pics that is
