I'm getting almost 16 mpg on 31s and stock gears. Was getting 14 mpg until I put a new air filter and muffler on a few weeks ago.

im hoping to get some improvement doing headers and cat back since cats are still good along with injector swap since mine are probably dirty anyways.

Staying between 2k and 2.5k rpm has seemed to help a lot for me.

Guys just need some opinions. Should I add the extra 1.5" that I have or just do like .75 or just an inch. I don't need much just want a little more clearance.

Heres a good question: how do you know if an XJ front drive shaft will work in the rear at certain heights?
