I'm in the process of finishing up a installation of a set of banks headers. I'm hoping to see a little more mpg increase with them
I just dont know if i can talk myself into putting that much money into the truck, it already has 217,000 miles on it.. Ive never looked into the freespin hubs before, sounds interesting

Well you're either going to need to be happy with 35's or shell out some cash. 37's are expensive to start with. The $2200 isn't terrible, if that's full parts and labor with a guarantee. That might include essentially overhauling the entire axle, which isn't a bad idea with that kind of mileage. Might ask around a little more.
