I have been getting pretty good loaded and towing MPGs when I got back down near sea level.
The LiFePO4 battery swap has been doing good. I now have room to install my Gast compressor where the drivers side battery use to be and put an air cleaner where the passanger side battery use to be.
The rear springs have had it and with 100 pounds of battery gone from the front its riding nose high and ass down worse than ever with a load of tools in the back and the trailer hooked up.

lumina wheel covers, they are kind of lame but I like them.
Loaded and towing I was able to consistantly hit 20mpg+. On one run I drove it extra easy for 250 miles following my friend who always drives under 60mph and I hit 24.5mpg, I thought the fuel sender was acting up again.
I am canceling the plans to replace the yoko AT-S tires with LLR. I thought the tires were hurting fuel milage worse than they really are, turns out it was the bitter cold winter, thin air and cross winds.
