the 5.2 and the stock gears do actually pretty good, still able to pick up speed but gas mileage definitely dropped but still ok

and ya didnt mean covered in mud but enough to cover the polish on the rims i have had a truck so covered that you didnt know what color it was lol
Take those damn spacers out and put in a real lift...

And Sport models do not have a taller suspension.

You heard wrong. The sport package is aesthetics only; painted bumpers and grill and a few extra stickers.

The off road package has a 1.5-2" factory lift.
