Are u still runnin stock gears.
10 inches of lift an only runnin 36x15.5 tires. That's a lot of lift for that small tire. I got 6" fabtech lift runnin 37" tires.
If u don't use your truck for pullin anything an don't plan on puttin any bigger tire on it. You may want to look into puttin a set of 4.30 gears in it. If plan on bigger tire look at 4.56.
I use my truck to pull my camper an I'm soon puttin 4.56 gears in my truck.
But as far as ur boost bein 15 or over at 70 or so. That is a lil high in my opinion. Not pullin anything my boost at 70 or so on flat road is like 10 or 12. By the stock gauge.

Just to add.
You may want to dump the edge an get SCT.
More than a few have ran edge an dumped their trans.
More than a few, including me, run SCT with no problems an love them. Plus, you can get a custom tune wrote for ur truck. Can't with edge. That I know of.
Just my nickel worth.
