I don't get that great of gas mileage, either, and I'm on 35's with 4:10 gearing. I did put is some lucas fuel injector cleaner/Lube and noticed a huge difference. Not to mention I drive like a senile old grandpa. I hardley ever punch it and I take it real easy. Thats probably the best thing you can do for mileage. Drive it like you own it, not like you stole it. Hope that helps. Oh and where did you get your axles? I have seen plenty of 44 rears but the only 35 front I have seen was a mid 90's ford ranger and that was a Twin traction beam axle. Just curious.
