Hey there is nothing wrong with putting 4.56's in a 2wd truck... It makes things really fun to say the least ....

mmstar23 - as far as mpg's go, mine went up, not a lot but they definitely went up.

If I ever move somewhere that has winter, I'll trade this in on a 4x4. In FL we only have 2 seasons: rain and drought.

That lower gear ratio with 35s is killing your MPGs, better mechanical advantage means the engine doesn't have to work as hard, so even though your RPMs are higher, you aren't spraying as much fuel into the cylinders to keep it moving.
