Motown,

Are you a member of HAPS (Houston Area Powerstroke Club)? I just got info on it but have not had any time to attend functions yet.

Let us know what kind of mileage you get with your truck lifted.

I don't know about the rest, but I believe that is the way they should look. off course, that is coming from a history of lifted trucks & jeeps. My truck with the 285's looks like it dosn't have enough tire under it. But sad to say, it needs to stay that way if I continue to pull my fifth wheel trailer. My trailer has already had the axles flipped, and on the very highest slot for the springs, just to clear my stock bed.

Ryan,

Even with the re-gear, I think my speedo is off by about 10mph..(showing 60mph but actually going 70-72mph) with that my overhead is showing about 10.5. Looks like I will need to look into installing a true-speed.
