With the OHV and 4.56 gears on 33s, I'm not surprised. The OHV does not like to rev, it would have been better suited to 4.10s in my opinion.
The SOHC is a much different monster, it needs revs, it likes to rev.
Still, re-gearing to improve fuel economy almost never pencils out. Spending $1200+ to possibly get 1-2mpg back doesn't make a lot of sense. Do it for performance, not MPG. If you pick up some mileage, great. If not, at least it moves better!

1300$ including them installing the gears, right? Cause otherwise expensive! I'm gonna try to get a shop to install the coilovers after they do the gears, it makes sense and also makes the lift reinstall much easier I would think.
