That is my exact set-up. Power out the wazoo and great gas mileage too.

I would do it if th 3.31 was a locker or at least limited slip. What kind of mileage are you seeing?

In the warmer months here in Va, March - November, I'm easily getting 19 mixed and 23+ on the highway at 70-75.

Colder months everything drops by about 2 mpg's.
