Drove it to conroe today and back.... 14.5-15mpg highway, not bad at all imo. the 4.56 gears and stiffer shifting with this superchip is great. Love the truck! Got underneath it today and scotch brited it then painted the axle, drive shaft and frame... looks CLEAN as ****.

Next up drive shaft extension, major buff and detail, highflow cats, and an intake.

so how exactly does this work, does the rize kit drop down the front diff? Did you need long drive shafts? Do you need longer front struts? I don't know much about lifting a truck.

Looks awesome.

I'd rip out the driveway and garage floor, lower the grade, throw in a drain to compensate for the negative fall/grade (if necessary), new garage door and maybe some brick for the new exposed areas and there a go, your in the garage!

Parts around $580, install was $700. Lifetime gear warranty and any issues allout fixes it free.

Well I was up in Conroe talking to the guy that buffs and details my mustang, my dad's cars, and my good buddies duster for shows... He's going to do a weekend job on my paint. He suggested just scotch brite (basically sanding it and cleaning it) on all the parts I want to paint and a really high quality semi-gloss paint. Spent the day doing that at my buddies place and it looks outstanding. sanded and painted the rear axle, frame and drive-shaft. Looks like a million bucks. Pics when I get a chance.
