I would say with the auto, the tranny will cost you sooner or later when it decideds to blow up.

My credo
WHY DO I KEEP BUYING DODGES?!?!?
What does it have for a motor to push it along? I keep picturing a brick on stilts wheezing along with an overworked 4.0.....

Lower the lift down to 6" or less (trim the fenders for the tires), regear the axles to 4.88, inflate the tires to 35 PSI, and you may be able to get 20-21 out of it doing 60 on the freeway (16-18 around town, depending on how you drive).

Drive it like an animal though and you'll be lucky to get 14, even with the above.
