    Yeah IMHO anything more than a 2" lift or "leveling kit" is just gay. My buddies and I like to think of it like this...The number of inches on your truck is the number of inches NOT in you Pants. How many short guys compared to tall guys do you see driving lifted trucks?? I thought so:doah:

    No you're good. Its the tiny guys that drive 5.4 V8 powered F-250s with 14in of lift and 44" boggers to work and back that I am talking about. They are obviously lacking in the shorts:doah: :stir:

    Spoken just like every other guy I know who can't afford more than a leveling kit;) Ok way off topic and back to real world testing. As a matter of fact the truck did get 5" of lift (we will soon be introducing DP Motorsports, a new suspension line for third gen dodges) and a set of 35" pro comp Xtreme All Terrains. First off I really like the gearing with the G56 after installing the 35's, the truck feels like it should. This weekend I towed my 28' toy hauler on a camping trip. I wanted to see how the truck would do without the chip. I would pull all hills at 55 on my speedo not corrected for tire size. I am very excited to pull with the chip next weekend and will post up results.

    Have not tried any Van Akin stuff on the 06, sorry. Towed the toy hauler last weekend with the Bully Dog Tripple dog. Tried to tow on crazy Larry and couldn't keep the temps low even on the flats but I will get to the crazy Larry program in a minute. Turned the tripple dog to tow/safe on the fly (that was fun trying to find the diag port on the fly in the dark) and obviously I could see a huge difference in temps. Truck definently responded well to the added power, climbed hills 5-7 mph faster at managable egt's but lacked in fuel eco. This weekend I hope to tow with my flashpaq that I just got upgraded and back in the truck. Running empty the superchip on performance runs harder the the 3 dog on crazy lary!

    Mike, just wondering how the flashpaq performed for you. I have an '06 MC Cummins 6 sp and I also have the flashpaq. I am towing a 30' camper at 11500 lbs.

    Love the flashpaq, tried the dr. performance predator stage 3 this weekend, was definetly softer on power and seemed to run about 100 degrees hotter towing.
