I don't feel like doing the math but aren't your 4.56's basically equal to my 3.92's since you're on 37's? Most of that gearing increase was spent getting back what was lost to the larger tires.

Actually it is better then 3.92s! Not by much, but I have been driving with 37" tires on 3.92 gears for the last 30,000 miles so it is a hugh difference.

Vidalia has some damn good onions! My ex-wife has some family that used to work at the prison! Small world isn't it! Good fishing in those parts, or at least it used to be!

I thought about it once, but I got these clear ones for free and I like the clear with the red leds!

The Black ones look good to so maybe one day if these ones break I will consider getting black ones! I also want to get a black tool box!

I am getting 13ish MPG, but I have a heavy foot! My friend and I are going to weld a cross member behind the front bumper from frame to frame and custom mount a winch like the Power Wagon has stock!
