Oooooh! OK, now that you have our attention, would you care to tell us what brand and style of tires? wWhat size, and on what rims? What brand and series shocks, and how many? What gears (ratio: from/to?); and please define "other goodies"...

You know, it borders on Cruel & Unusual Punishment for you to leave those of us who live vicariously thru others' wallets hanging like this!!!

So, what's the whole story???

OK so you have to drag it outta me...... First we are going from 3.73 to 4.56 for the gears. Next we are getting rid of the Nitto tires and going to a set of 38 inch Claws still on the Eagle Alloy rims. Then the standard Super lift shocks are getting swapped for a set of (4) 5100 Bilsteins. OK I have to admit I am getting a 3 inch body lift to clear the 38s (I know its not the prefered method but its what I can squeeze into the budget at this time). Next is the dual steering stabilizers. Then to top it all off a new exhaust system. Going for duals with glass packs and either 4 or 5 inch stainless set of tips straigh out the back. Then its off to the Bloomsburg show for some R and R.

Shizah!!! Sounds awesome! (well, except for the glasspack part, but that's just my druthers). Hope to see some "before and after" pix soon... Enjoy the show, BTW...

Best,
DS

PS- got a name for your truck? I love that blue color. How 'bout "Blew By You" (spoken like "Blue Bijou")? Get it?
