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?
correction on the gears. Guys are running 4.88s usually on 37s+

I am running 38's with 4.56's and am getting 12.5 city and around 14 Highway. And she WILL run 100 mph +. I know it ain't safe to that in these monsters, but at least I know she will do it.

lol... don't kill yourself... Would a winch do any good for a truck lifted that high? Or would a bulldozer be a necessity when you get it stuck?

I have another question for you guys running 37" and larger tires. What are you using for brakes? Did you upgrade them at all for the extra weight of the lift and tires?

I'm still using regular brakes. I dont think you need bigger brakes unless you get up around a 40" tires. You would be suprise how quick it can stop.

I am hoping that stock brakes with maybe some Hawk pads will be good enough. I have 2 sets of 17x9" wheels, and don't want to go up to 18" or 20" wheels just to get bigger brakes. I would probably just stick with 35" tires and not run 37s if I had to get bigger brakes.
