Yeah, I learned the parking garage lesson out the hard way. The clearance sign was labeled incorrectly. I started to go to the second floor and the fire sprinkler system was lower than the clearance sign. So, I had to back all the back out of the garage. So, I avoid ALL parking garages (except for the one here at my office, as it is tall enough for me to go all the way to the top). It is sad that I can back this beast into a parking spot easier than I can park a standard car.

Haha aint that the truth, I'm the say way anywhere I go where there is compact parking I always back in and get it on the first try. Theres been sometimes the parking was so tight I would of have people stop and watch me back in, I guess they were thinking I couldn't.

I really don't have to worry about parking garages at all. As for the drive thru and atm machines, I can just go into the restaruant or the bank. What do you guys do for the car wash? I have hard water at my house, so I usually just run the truck through the laser wash.

I wash mine myself. But it is sometimes fun to pull up to a car wash and see their faces when they try to tell ya your truck is TOO BIG for the car wash.

If it's really dirty, I'll wash it myself. It's not that bad, but I'm a tall guy anyway. If I'm lazy I just take it to some charity car wash that's going on.

11MPG'S is all that im getting here.

Yeah i can do drive through are a little tight wide haha. But parking garages like you said i can only fit on the first floor as well and someone i just dont even bother to try it and use the outside parking. If i know there is enough room i like to go inside an give her gas

x2 good looking truck man! So Im guessing most people on here with a 6+3 with 37-38s have 3.55s and get between 11 and 12.5 mpg? I only have 315/70/17s and a 3" BL and a 3" level kit, stock 3.73s and get ~14mpg.... I like the height and the mpg alright... maybe wish it was a little higher, but I want good angles :/ and I need better mpg that what I am getting :P Would e-fans help? or not worth the price for how much I would spend on the fans compared to how much I would be saving on gas?

I think you guys may have convinced me. I am really leaning towards the additional lift. The only thing that gets me is the gas milage. I just read that gas my go back to the $4.00 range next year. At 13-14 mpg, that will not be good.

Its only money I mean dirty paper with dead presidents faces on it. So why break you back for something you can take to your grave man.You will have a truck that for the rest of your time together people will admire its a great felling and when you climb on up in the morning you'll smile. My folks told me id never make it to heaven and all i gotta say is im getting closer 1" at time.
