This is great advice gentlemen! I think I will actually try the high gears since I bought the axle for $100 from another soldier who was deploying. Hearing real experiences from those who have been there and done that helps. I'm a novice and realize I should have done all the mechanical before paint etc. I wish I had thought to look for a site like this earlier.
While I want some get up and go for passing and all around fun, good cruising and gas mileage is big positive. Thanks again!
