And give the air-dam all the vertical side radius you can,to get the air around to the sides,rather than over the hood and roof.Question,do you have the 5-speed trans? It's worth a couple mpg over the 4-speed.My friend in New Mexico had a standard ride height truck like your's,and on it's best day,with aero mods,pulled 42-mpg!
