Congrats and nice ride Bob! I'm enjoying my LLY as well. "IF" you want to lift the front a little, just crank up the stock torsion keys. Sometimes it's better to leave it stock. Good point on the manifold though, got me thinking now.

bullydog tripple-dog downloader, add 5mpg!
and if you start to hear a louder knock than usual, put injectors in them, the old ones leaked because of modules that added rail pressure to get more fuel in the engine, not like the bully dog programmer that changes pulse rate and keeps oil only oil. +90hp!
I had one of those, black 4door with 35" mud terrains on no lift and a cap on the back, stacked a powerpup module and the trippledog to 230hp or so, went to indianapolis in dec '05 for the P.R.I. and the instant econ was showing 30 at 90mph! then drove to billings at 110mpg and got 26mpg avg! you gotta work it up to speed with that much power and not just hammer the pedal or she hits the 3rd gear limp mode in the trans.
put the shift kit from bullydog in the trans tho with that kinda power or you'll blow right thru the probably already broken hub on the ever so cheezy - grandpa breaks them - torque convertor lockup clutches they had til the '06 truck

What did your economy pencil out to? The computer always lies especially if you modify it.

Mine was always off 3-5 MPG from what hand calculating would show.

when it showed 30 it got probably 25 or so avg on the trip, the billings 26 average was on paper from leaving home to arriving home.
i like the instant econ for showing me when to let off 5mph, thats all its referenced for. kinda like the old pontiacs vaccum guages
