My previous Honda had an oversized motor and really short gearing. I tried all sorts of aero mods and it didn't respond well to any of them, because most of the losses were in the drivetrain. Sounds like your truck may be the same way, though to a lesser extent. Aero mods will reduce load but if your gearing and engine are eating up fuel you won't get as much from other mods. |
I'll look that over sometime. I don't think that's the case here though as pickups equipped as mine are should be able to see 17 stock if you drive semi reasonable. It is a small v8 and 3.55 isn't all that low of gearing, especially with an overdrive transmission. I think the two biggest factors are the extra 4 inches of ground clearance in the front between the tires and the lift kit, and the extra 20 or so pounds per tire that it's having to spin.
