Hopefully it works out for you! I've been hesitant on the headers since I don't have immediate access to a lift and I've heard it's pretty much required but with yours being lifted that would be nice if you could squeeze them in. Are you going with 1 3/4" or 1 7/8"?

I'm going with the 1 7/8 with factory connect cause I already have the borla catback. Kinda wish I waited on the borla so I could have went the performance connect instead.

What the heck is a FX4 CCLB?

12.5 Combined!!

I'm getting anywhere with my stock FX4 Scab from around 18-19 highway with strong head wind to 21-23 combined (depending on highway to city type ratio) on the lie-o-meter.
Too lazy to calculate.
Think i'll leave my truck stock.

he probably means crew cab long box, which is wrong because that would mean he has an 8 foot box.

he probably has the 6' 5 box

Is that mpg data derived from a 'hand calculation' or the 'dash computer?' Thanks.

Add 1-2 MPG to your dash calculator, and you'll get roughly the real consumption. Mine's always off by that much (except during winter, it's a lot more lol)

The 20.6 is lifetime on the lie-o-meter. 12.2 towing was pen & paper. On a recent trip i got just over 15 towing on the lie-o-meter.
