a while back I made a post about my ome install frustration. Anywho, its finally done and I recently purchased some bfg a/t 265/75/16s and it looks and drives AMAZING! Thank you all for your help. If there is one tip I can give to anyone doing the lift themsleves: unbolt the sway bar link!!! I did the lift by myself (all my friends are mechanically retarded) and found that a spring compressors, the right tools, wd40, a rubber mallet and coffee were all I needed. I will post some pics soon.

Ps. Is it possible to change the gears to get better mileage?

Yep, with this size tires you need3.90 gears to get the original gearing ratioback. But for 1...I don't know if this ratio is available for Rover axles, and for 2... 4.10 gears which are available would be better to also offset the weight of the tires and added wind drag due to the lift.

 

I installed 4:11's on my truck after mounting my 265's. I regained nearly 2 MPG in town, 1.5 MPG on the road and got all my low end power back.
