i got my kit just local here at a speed shop in nova scotia but you can get them direct from rcx if you choose to. the lift was about 1345.00 canadian i think there on the website for 1399.00 us but they will sell them cheaper.as far as milage it probly is to soon for me to make a fair statement but i can say this much so far since i have owned my truck the best avg i have seen on the dash is 18.2 and i drove it 60 miles yesteday and my avg went up to 19.2 now this makes no sense to me but i did drive very easy and never had my foot into it probly like normal so maybe that made the diff. i will know better in a few days. i have to get a front end alignment today then i will be driving a bit harder so we will see and i will let you know. my truck has the 3.92 rear end and power does not seem to be a problem at all with the 35's.

Default exhaust and programmer

i received my magnaflow cat back exhaust today along with my bully dog programmer. my plans is to install these tomorrow if all goes well. also i put about another 70 miles on my truck today and drove more normal with the front end alignment done everything feels really good and my fuel avg has increased to a fairly constant 20.4 and the only thing i can figure is the larger tires has dropped my rpm at the same kms per hr so in turn is burning less fuel but so far i have gained with the lift and tires????? we will see after the exhaust and programmer also.

Unless you've reset your speedo with a programmer for the larger tires, if you're letting your EVIC calculate the mileage it isn't accurate... you need to calculate by hand for true MPG until you make the adjustments.

Sweet truck!

Default Standard vs metric

Using the standard (US) rating going from 18 mpg to 20 mpg would mean that you were driving an extra 2 miles to the gallon. Now I'm assuming that you are in the metric measurement (kms & L) so 18L/100 vs 20L/100 would mean that you are now burning an extra 2L for every 100 kms you drive. In my stock 2011 Ram Sport I can achieve 14.3L/100 but throw in a little throttle or traffic & up to 17.9/100 she goes. Beautiful truck!!!!

well i installed the magnaflow cat back system today and it is perfect for what i was looking for. no drone and just a nice throaty sound when you bare into the throttle man i love this truck it is awesome. i also installed the bully dog programmer to discover that there is no program available yet surprise surprise it is the right unit but no available program yet.
