Ok, now i know upgrading gears will make spinning those big tires easier, therefore more power AND gas mileage.
Any testimonials on here for power and mpg's gained when you swapped???
I have 33's on stock 3.55 now i know thats ok but im looking for better mpgs as this is my DD... Will making a switch to 4.10's or 4.56's really help my mpgs?

Did you change your speedo gear yet? Your speedo could be off more than 10% causing your MPG calculations to be way off... That is where I started instead of dropping a grand into gears...

Ha I got stock gears and 265/75's and get about 220 miles per tank with a 3" lift. It's just terrible. If I didnt love the damn thing so much I'd get rid of it. Havent adjusted the speedo gear but with 31's I was only off about 2-3 mph which for every mile marker on the road I actually drove 8/10 of a mile on the odometer.
