I was running with 3.55 with 20" rims and 35s and getting 15 mpg. Acceleration was not bad.

i had 3.55s with 35s and it was miserable! Keep in mind i have a 4.7. but i only put about 2500 miles in almost 6 months. I hated driving the truck so much that i rode my bike as much as possible. Now i have 4.56s and love driving my truck. No in and out of overdrive, no gettin left at the end of an on ramp. Its simply bliss
