Bilstein 5100s in the front was the best setup. 1.5" of lift otherwise you will have coil bucket contact. The rear if you go with any springs go with HD not MD since they will sag regardless. But airlift is the best bang for your buck. You will use it and need it the most. After your springs s...

does replacing the y pipe actually get you better mpg? is there anyone who has done this and seen a difference or are you seeing better mpg because you also upgraded the muffler? My shop will charge me more to take out the y pipe when installing the new muffler so I want to know is it worth paying e...

sorry I didn't write that very clearly. I am looking for new tires and debating on tire size so I want to see the difference on stock suspension. 1. I am either going with a 65 or 70 height tire. I am fine with 65 but if 70 looks a lot better then I will go with the 70. If 65 and 70 look the same th...

I will look at the Coopers, the Grabber at2 is just a great deal right now. I found them for $160 installed. They are only 265/70/17 though and i have been trying to find a set of 275/70/17s for under $200 a tire but I can't seem to find anything comparable in quality.

Come to think of it my sister went from P rated Bridgstone A/T tires to Goodyear Wrangler Duratracks in the same tire size although the Goodyear D's were at leased 10 pounds heavier and lost 3.5 mpg. What were you looking for in a tire? Something better off-road? Better in the snow? What are your n...

Are we talking about a 1mpg change or more like 5mpg change? 10 lbs per tire doesn't seem like a lot but who knows

Tire weight for mpg ?

I have been searching tires for the past couple days and driving myself crazy. I have narrowed it down between a 40lb General Grabber at2 tire and a 50lb goodyear authority at tire.
Questions is, will the extra 10 lbs make thst much difference?

So based on the limited amount of info I've given, does it seem I need t of rebuild the transmission or a rebuild kit? I thought a rebuild kit was just seals and gaskets? I have an issue with the gears I believe not shifting into gear or sticking, etc.

Thanks for the replies. I know you can't say without seeing my transmission. But what is entailed in the "rebuild"? Is it replacing with a new gear or more than that? If I can't do myself what am I probably looking at price-wise for the rebuild? I can drive it fine right now all gears are ...
