Ha! I was originally planning on 36's with about 4" of lift. Now I've got almost 10" and 44's. Fenders will be chopped any day here. Ah . . . the good old days when life was simple and all I had to worry about was how to polish things.

Ah come on Ivan a 8-71 is for small blocks, get real and get a 14-71, it's bigger for more bling, and actually produce some power
hey there was even one on ebay the other day with enderle injection, and everything already polished

14-71 would be into my firewall. I'll have to save that for my rear mount engine. Well, that and the fact that I didn't have the $5300 for it but that auction was on my "watch" list.

Not yet, Pro. Still haven't converted me to sheep...you got Ivan over to camels, so he's AT LEAST on to creatures requiring 4 legs for transportation.

how, oh how did I know you would have that on your watch list, hmmm maybe the fact of cruising through the pics I was blinded by the light gleaming off of it
And I really don't know about all the corrupting going on here, glad I am still sane

Exactly. Monster was already over to the dark side

Only problem is (which I've been realizing through talking with Ivan) all this influencing is gonna do is result in you guys having trucks that are badder than mine. It won't stand out anymore. Time to buy a jet engine, 5 tons, and 66"s
