After 3 tanks of fuel I see no improvement in fuel economy. I run a 4" rancho lift and 35" KM2's so 15 is about as good as I can get in everyday driving. So far there is no improvement on that number.

Additionally there is no "seat of the pants" detectable improvement in performance.

If you need wires I would highly recommend these wires. They are only about $20 more than the Mopar set and they are well worth the money.

I cannot recommend the coil pack unless possibly you have a bad coil and need to replace it anyway.
Thanks for sharing, but I don't see what coil/wire combo you got?

If nothing else, it will waterproof the ignition a lot more, because the silicone boots grap like crazy. They withstand heat up to 1,400 F!
Anybody running this set-up?

I installed the kit on my 2010 and it made a slight difference in acceleration. I have my foot into it a little more now so I cant speak to the mileage. If you want better mileage, get AT's instead of MT's. Mud terrains have horrible rolling resistance. Get two sets, one for daily use and one for off road.
