No I didn't nor do I think I need to I can cruise at 55 in fifth gear fine I need to run the code and see what gears it has it pulls good in all gears

Before I lifted it I had to shift out of first at about 10-15 mph and was in third by 30mph so i might be a ordered truck with 4:10s :dunno:

Long story short it is fine I drive it on a 55mph road to and from work and I can pass people and take off from the stops and stay next to others just fine Normal driving

It depends what rpm you guys shift at. With 4.56's and 35's I'm real close to 30mph at 3k rpm in 2nd gear.

Finally finished mine up late Saturday night, sunday morning. I got pics but haven't had time to post them up. The truck is getting aligned today, I had to take it around to 3 places because the first 2 wouldn't mess with a lifted truck. "It takes a long time to get it right" was their excuse.
