I did Tim, and I loved the look, but a buddy of mine wanted them worse then me. Plus I had this look rattling around in my head for a while.

It has 3.73's in it now. My T-5 has a very low first gear, I shift into second gear after about 15ft of taking off, so I'd like to help with that, plus I like to build my trucks for the open road so I'd like to have the option to roll 80-85mph sometimes without turning that six too hard. The overdrive on it is only around .8 also.
