I've read so many positive reviews of the KORE suspension...

I decided to pull the trigger!

Just dropped off the '03 HO QC 4x4 6 speed for the 'ol KORE Chase system, Weld wheels (well, I'll have the wheels, but the tires aren't coming until after Christmas), Banks Monster Exhaust, AFE Proguard (sp?) 7, and Torque Tube to be installed.

I can't wait to get it back. Gotta wait 'til Thursday.

I hope it's as good as they say it is.

Anyway, the truck currently has 3.73's and I'm running BFG 285's. I recently made a 500 mile trip from sea level to 7k feet, down to 4k, and back. I hand calculated 19.5 mpg, at about 65-70 the whole way. I thought it would do better, but the truck has 13k miles. Perhaps it will loosen up a bit more near 30k?

Any ideas how much my mileage will drop with the 35" Toyos?
