Yes my truck looks like the pic you posted but single cab long bed. It has the factory lower bumper valence but no "air dam" the piece thats there is still a good 5"-6" from covering everything underneath. I did just find a set of the same factory alloys you have and Ill be picking them up this weekend along with new tires. ( should be a huge reduction in rotating mass) Im going to try a partial grill block at some point this week or weekend also. I kind of worry about an air dam as I do "tap" the lower edge of the valence on things as it is now.Maybe a flip up type would work best, but thats going to take some fab time.
On hill climbing. Should I be staying in high gear or down shifting to compensate? Ie 55 mph on flat ground is about 1800rpm in 5th gear at ~15% throttle input. On a hill of decent grade or distance maintaining same throttle input speed falls off and rpm to below 1000rpm pretty quick. Should I down shift or add more throttle? Im slightly confused on this.
