Alright guys...so im finally getting my truck to look the way i want to, but i got a few other things i wanna do to it, and need you guys help. This is what I have at the moment:

2004 2wd lariat, with a 6" fabtech lift and some used, "new to me wheels and tires", 35/12.5/20 toyo m/t's and moto metal 951's (thanks to jditta).

I am wondering from you guys that have a similar setup, if you changed your gears, did you go with 4.11's or 4.56's, and why? I care more about helping the gas mileage, than I do about power.
If you have a steering stabilizer kit, does it really work and can you see it just by glancing at the truck or do you have to crawl up under it?
Is the only thing I can do to raise the back of my truck a little more is get a AAL?
On the tires i have what psi should i run at?...im running them at 35psi right now.

Thanks for the help

Anybody...

 

i would go with atleast 4.56 , that should return you to "stock gearing"

and its 4.10 btw

 

How do you figure that? From that chart it looks like 4.10s would put him back to factory rpm's and in the mileage section of the chart. 4.56s would be in the performance area.

 

Hey man glad you like the tires and rims, get us a picture or two. I posted up some of mine with the new rims and got bashed I'm gettin 4.56's put in at the moment and I will be getting it later this afternoon and I will give you my review on em.

 

those charts go :

yellow = best highway mileage
black = near factory specs
blue = would be the "performance"

 

I love the wheels and tires...I will get a picture up of them when the weather gets better I and I can clean it up a little bit. If you got bashed on the wheels that you pulled up in when i saw you maybe everyone should see them in person instead of a pic. They looked pretty sweet to me.

Cant wait to hear how the gears are, keep me updated...

 

IDNC76, thanks for helping me out with the gear selection...do you have 4.56's in your truck?

 

im still lost on how that chart works

 

when i can afford to, im going with 4.88's
