    Im looking at a 01 supercab with a 5.4l 4wd with a 6inch suspention lift and 3inch body lift sitting on 37s with 3.73 gears. No performance mods. What kinda gas mileage am i looking at? Truck is super clean. Ill post up a link later when im on my computer.

    3.73's with 37's you'll be running around 2200 rpm's so it shouldn't be horrible but not all that good either

    I'd hope for 10. It's going to be a dog getting there also. 4.56s would be the ticket.

    Here's your rpms at 60 with 3.73s
    Automatic Without Overdrive 2,147
    Automatic With Overdrive 1,423


    With 4.56s
    Automatic Without Overdrive 2,625
    Automatic With Overdrive 1,739

    thanks fellas, that is what i was thinking too. if i get it i will have to regear eventually so it's not a dawg. we will see if this guy is serious about wheeling and dealing.

    Nice truck! IMO I think you should lower it a little. Too much gap

    yeah i was thinking that too, just don't know if it's worth messing with or not. probably take out the body lift and roll some 35's on that beatch we will see. i know one other guy is looking at it tomorrow and i can't get there till wednesday at the earliest so we will see if it's still there

    I don't think you should do it man. I know you've said you need room for your family in your truck and those backseats have none. It wouldn't be long before your kids would have no room whatsoever in the back seat of your truck. I say keep looking and find you another nice supercrew.
