Yep. Gotta account for electron drag.
Calculations are simplified by ignoring the drag coefficient. However this results in calculations that look good in marketing materials, but are not representative of real world conditions. And this isn't even accounting for the excess load caused by the increase in chicks being attracted to the new chick magnet truck.

I got the Tremor package so when I install smoke turn signals and marker lights the vehicles suspension won't bottom out. It also will have increased travel when I am fleeing from the gf when she sees all the chicks attracted to my high horsepower (theoretically) truck.

But, what happens when you put the truck into reverse ?
I have heard that when you do, it causes the lapristrocisel gearing in the transmission to go into a pause state, which will then incur the reversal of the main planitarial gear.
This would seem to negate any hp gains, thus allowing your GF to easily catch up to you on her roller skates....

No, the HFK's are only installed on trucks that are in the southern hemisphere.
Here in the northern hemisphere, we only have the Lapristrocisel gearing.

That's because they can't change the Coriolis effect clockwise rotation. ?

Nov. 19, 2022 - Pennsylvania man uses pieces of scrap wood he’s been saving “just in case”. Built a box for the bed to hold the sand bags in place for winter.

Damn it! That's a really clever idea!

I was just going to wrap 3 bags of play sand in a drop cloth for each side and ratchet strap them against the wheel wells, but yours is a far better idea!

Thanks!

Did my Eibach 3" lift over the weekend, and today had 265/70/17 mounted on the stock wheels and alignment at a 4wheel drive shop.

Looks good! I hope to get mine put on this weekend. Run into any problems with the install?
