What was your hp/torque?

now if your pulling lite loads on flat land more than I was it would probably work fine. But I would never do it again to many cons and not enough pros for me. If you look at eatons website even there they say up to 2% gain in mpg with 6X2 setup but 2% of 7 mpg is only .14 mpg increase it would take a long time paying for it even if you didn't have excessive tire wear like I did -
I'm happy I did this! .8mpg better than last year. And .5mpg better than 6x4 setup 30 day before and after in the middle of the coldest winter here in PA.KANSAS TRANSIT and Cetane+ Thank this. -
There's a shop in IN that will do a front lift axle conversion for $6500, worst case scenario. Meaning if everything went wrong, it would only cost $6500. Hopefully if everything went smoothly, it would be a bit less.
A guy I work with has a front lift axle. He loves it. But he also said that his drive tires do wear faster. About a year on a the 4.bbechtel16 Thanks this. -
