Re: New to squares
Lowering the truck to a 2.5" lift "should" help, right? You're getting the truck a little bit closer to the tires and hopefully it'd help with wind drag under the truck. But I wouldn't install a 2.5" lift unless that's the lift you really want because I don't think it's going to fix the problem you asked about.
Like everyone else mentioned, the truck has the aerodynamics of a billboard and the TBI 350 wasn't a powerhouse. The truck's already been regeared properly for the tires, the only sure fix now is horsepower, or more accurately, torque. I don't mean to be a killjoy because I love your truck and I'd DD it but if it were me I'd leave 15 minutes earlier every day, slow it down to 72 or 73, and enjoy driving a badass truck. |

Re: New to squares
Someone stole my suburban today while I was at work! We have a private parking lot and they still smashed the window and it's gone! Just some broken glass is all I found when I went out after work.
If anyone sees it please let me know. |

Re: New to squares
Damn, that really sucks. I always worry when I park mine in a place I'm not familiar with. I really need to install a kill switch.
