I was thinking mine was a 26 gal tank but maybe im thinking of something else. Most times I fill up about 1/4 of a tank but lately ive been going as long as I can. Ill find out this weekend what my mileage is.

Well, what mods do you have?
If your ride is suffering right now, the shocks would be better.
If you have a CAI and exhaust then the 70mm TB would be best.
I wouldn't go gauge yet.
Best bet is instead of buying shocks, save that money and buy a suspension lift.

I changed mine out last weekend and it helped alot. The ones that were in there was champions and I bought Autolites from Wally World. They come in packs of two and I think one pack was like $2.xx.

Changing them was cake. So much easier the on a 3.9/5.2/5.9. Just pull the coil off and then you can get to the plug easy. It's nice because they are all straight up and down on top too. You just have to remove the two brackets that hold the hoses in place to get to one on each side. But they helped quite a bit, and my old ones weren't even that bad.

Oh yea I know the only ones that are difficult are the ones at the back cause I gotta use a wobble extension and the one under my air intake cause I gotta remove it. I have the Bosch platinum plus 2 the ones that are no gap and I'm not that happy with them. I should be ordering my shocks today BTW!

Yeah, I just took my air intake right off. I have the stock one, so it's really in the way and it's only a couple bolts so it makes life a lot easier to just take it off.
