I'm officially off the fence...

I 've driven all our company trucks; an F-150, a Chevy, and a Hemi. The Hemi flat out screams. It's too much fun on the freeway going from 55 to 85 in the flick of a ankle.
Between the Hemi and the 4.56 gearing, I'm giving myself whiplash when I pull away from lights. I keep hitting the skinny pedal like I'm in the Jeep still.
Ouch.

Congrats, and welcome to the world of $85.00 fill ups. :sombrero:

Regarding fuel economy the 5.7L does as well as it can at 2000 to 2200 RPM. I get 13.5 to 15.0 MPG at that range on the highway in my '09 with the same motor you have..

The winch is actually a 15K Warn re-labeled as a 12K.

The PW really needs 35's. The diffs are huge, and you will find'm the hard way on 33's, especially going from a Jeep to a full size. 4.56:1 gears are perfect for 35's.

Enjoy it!

35s won't fit a G4 without new wheels and possibly control arms.
Next rubber might be 295/70-17 at least but the 33s are staying 'til they're worn.
