Well, then enter in your tire sizes.

If I remember correctly, your overall tire size change was so minuscule that your speedometer probably didn't even notice it.

My truck has that same sticker in the door, but it came with 265/75/16's, as did most of the 4x4's from the factory and most likely yours too.

You don't get to say "what" to me ... I speak (and type) clearly.

I sure did. Let's be realistic, it would be next to impossible to get better then that with my gearing and tire size. I was happy with the results since with my stock tires, around town, I was averaging around 12.5 MPG. I was expecting much worse results, especially since there's a whole lot of air that's getting under the vehicle with the lift and larger tires. There was also some decent wind gusts going on, so all in all, it performed amazing.

Re gear your truck now before you kill that trans. Consider yourself warned. There is a lot more to just throwing on some bigger tires

Yeah, but people don't seem to be happy until they can whine and complain about how bad Dodge trannies are when it blows out.
