I was just curious as I also have the 5.0 and 3.31’s. Maybe its just me but my truck seems way underpowered and I only have C Rated 33” Ridge Grapplers. I want to do a lift as well and 35’s but not until I can regear to 4.10’s.
How bad of a hit did you take in gas mileage?

My loaner yesterday.
2018 STX SCrew 2.7 2wd
Not sure I'm a fan of the 10 speed. Seemed quite jerky in low speed traffic, like it couldn't decide between 1-3 gear.
Also, not sure it was in my head, but the '18 felt like it had heavier steering.

Try correcting the speedo again, this time after measuring the *loaded radius* of your drive tires.
Where I installed a slightly larger tire (265/70-17) with an advertised 31.6" overall diameter, my loaded radius was 15.25"... making my dynamic overall diameter, the diameter that the transmission output shaft's speed sensor sees, 30.5". That's over an inch difference... and it can make a noticeable impression on your odometer and fuel mileage readings.
