Your CB Antenna setup looks very clean! Really like how its mounted on the spare tire carrier.

What gear ratio do you have right now? I assume you have 3.73s or 3.42s since you haven't said you changed them and those are the 2 standards from what I've seen on similar blazers. If you go with 4.10s you're actually going to decrease you mileage because your engine will be running faster at cruising speeds. That is unless you're taking something else into account that I'm not.

Here's a chart describing what I'm talking about

I have 3.42 gears and looking at that chart i'd be better getting the 3.73 gears, but according to the chart I'd be getting close to stock millage with 4.10 gears

Just remember you have to change the front gears to.
