Default 5.13 and 33" tires

What kind of gas milage am I looking at ? Getting a 4" long arm lift and gears and lockers. Have to wait for 35" tires. I know I should have all kinds of power. I have a 2door 6 speed.

if you have 4:10's i would get the 35's first since you have the 6speed. I would think the 5:13's and 33's 65mph would be near 3000rpms

i have to agree. unless you're getting new lockers installed, i would get the 35's first and then the gears later. you'll be fine with them on 4.10's.

I have 33" and 5.13's and get around 18mpg. I still wish this thing had better power. Not knocking the gears since they put me more in the power zone but at altitude this thing is just a dog, especially with a headwind.

I am leaning to a 4" bds long arm. Have a great price on it and labor is a good price too. I do like the lift time warranty of you break it we replace it. The lower price will pay for the drive shafts. $5200 canadian for 4" long arm, front and rear jks track bars and front and rear drive shafts installed plus tax. I may wait with the gears and lockers and see how she looks. Maybe just a locker in the front.
