No where really. I have no desire to do any type of rock crawling.

Was thinking 35's more for looks. The first pic is 3" lift on 33's, the second is 5" on 35". The second is actually the tire and wheel combo that I wanted to go with in my mind. Raceline Rockcrusher wheels and IROK radial 36-13.5-15 tire.

I like the look of the 5" and 35's but I always go big!

I like the look of the 5", but you know you can take your Christmas lights down. Or on second thought leave them up its already August.


And no, I didn't win the powerball and still can't go to the GTG. I tried and came close to several of the numbers drawn.

I will need help getting a list of parts and part numbers to get an idea of cost.

I will most likely get the Warn Premium hubs (do i need a conversion kit?)D60 & D50 Warn Premium 30 Spline Hubs

And i will need to know what gear ratio everyone thinks I should get and brand/part numbers I believe D50 front and 10.5 rear.

Other than those also the bearings and seals needed

I am going to wait to shoot my rep gun. Want to be sure to hit you in the forehead.......

I have to agree on the 35's, but I think I will stay with the Mickey ATZ. had them on a few trucks and like how they performed.

Now we can get a list going at dinner Andrew. Then it's just a matter of searching for the best pricing......

Sounds good! Haven't had much time to browse lately. I love how my tires ride, should have put the same ones on the dodge but she does a lot of highway driving.

i know there's the inner axle seal, outer axle tube seal (which is usles IMO), the pressed-in seal in the knuckle, the yellow o-ring seal by the hub, the needle bearing, and i replaced the thrust washer where te hub mounts too. there are at least a few posts around FTE with an itemized list, p/n's and everything. be sure to check partsguyed and tousley ford for pricing. i bought all my stuff at the local stealership. :/

Andrew - Rich knows the code to Napa for good pricing. Or if need be I can order parts for you and have the truck with the hat on it deliver them. I think it's funny how an auto parts store runs Chevy's. Guess they're a good write off.
