Welcome to the site!

I would recomend you return your Edge and give the folks at Troyer Performance a call. I would get the XcalII, AF1, and some type of performance exhaust, those would help turn those massive tires.

If you haven't replaced the gears I would get a set of 4.88's or higher.

O yea! How about some pics?!

Doggone - 11" lift - I definately wanna see pics! ! !

If you're running 38s - I think gears would certainly be in order maybe even into the 5s if they'll fit.

Banks is a good exhaust. They sell the massive 5" tip which is what I'm considering ordering soon. You can find all of this stuff at www.stylinconcepts.com and www.4wheelparts.com.

With the Banks exhaust you're going to get a loud throaty exhaust which will cause a drone in the cab. What kind of shocks are on your truck Savannah?? The AF1 intake and an exhaust system will get you possbly 1 or 2 mpg's back not everything that the lift took away.

He covered most of your ?'s

For gears I would look at Yukon and Precision. There are others out there but those are the only ones I know of that are of good quality off the top of my head.

If you want something you can keep attached to the truck then look into the SCT live wire. The edge causes transmission problems and is not custom tuned to your truck like troyer can do with the SCT products.
