6" lift and only 32? My truck has NO lift and it has 30" tires on it right now...

Unless you want to play the "modify my gear ratio in BOTH axle's" game...I'd just go to a inch or two more in the tires....give you a bit more of an aggressive stance as well. Unless you want to spend 750+ on new gears front and back. ^_^

Well..I suppose you probably coudl do them yourself. I'm no that confident. Yet

Where's a picture of hte truck, btw? It's not in your gallery - and there isn't one in the thread. Btw..is it an aquamarine/teal color? If so...our trucks must be more alike then the 302 ^_^.

You also have 14 more HP then me too =(. OBDII also. I'd like to be able to see a picture of it though. I need to get a picture of mine...

Ah..you're darker. I have yet to find another truck with MY color....at least not part of a two-tone setup.

Needs bigger tires ^_^. Oh..can I borrow your passenger side headlight assembly and chrome door? ^_^
