Good work on the technique though -- keep it up

I cut it off at 2k when starting off and if needed allow it to get up 2.5k or 3k depending on traffic but quickly get back under 2k..


I am thinking of making a spoiler type thingy, basicly clear plastic sheet screwed into the plastic bedliner (possibly hindged so no one messes with it when parked); leaned against the tailgate and cut so it gets the 10-12 degree from the cab.. and get some black abs plastic around the skidplate to cover the gaps between the bumper, tires, and skidplate..

Blue outline = plastic..




Do you think it will help?

I am going to to try to leave much of the truck alone until I can afford new rims/tires and lower it..
