thats really good gas mileage for a lifted vehicle with 35" mud tires... I have a lifted wrangler with 35x15.5" mickey thompson baja claws and I get (at most) like 9-10 mpg on the highway and that is for a 6cylinder, with 3:73 gears... so if you are pulling like 14 or 15 real mpg's in a ~400hp full size truck with nitto mud graplers, you are killing it. I would have expected it to be a lot less with the weight and extra engine.

Really sharp! Now I need $2500, I must have this. I was going to just get the Readylift leveling kit, but now I'm sure this is the right fit for me.

I spoke with my dealership about the lift, they said 3K and would discount some more to help with the cost of labor/install.

I spoke about an aftermarket 6", and she told me no dealership would touch it if i brought it in for service under warranty. Due to driveshaft angle.

New to the Dodge thing, does this mean that if I have the Mopar lift installed, the dealership will not have a problem with the warranty on my truck?

if it's a mopar lift, it should be covered by warranty...

you should call your local dealer for specifics though

question 2 - if your looking to keep 18 - 19mpg dont put 35 mud grapplers on - btw at 65mph they sound like a Boeing 747 taking off.. its great

iam lucky to get 13mpg..

i will be looking into bully dog soon.. from what i read from cpelton's post's his bully dog has helped tremendously..

Did they re-calibrate your speedo or are you reading slow?
