lol, getting in it isnt too hard, im 6'6", so i just grab onto the floor right by the door, and grab the door handle to steady myself, and jump into it. it requires some work, but its well worth it. i took it mudding in my friends field today which was awesome b/c it was completely flooded, we had a blast! i pu in 2 15" subs in the back, at 4000w max a peice, 2600rms, and they're bein pushed by 2 2000rms amps. also is a clarion head unit, and 2 pioneer 6 1/4's and 2 kenwood 6x9's pushed by a 4 channel 1000w amp. engine and sysetm both sound fantasic!!! i love this truck. i got sum pix of it dominating the pit, but the scanner is having a stroke, so ill get those asap.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 17-Oct-02 AT 10:31 AM (EST)]I must be missing something hear. That truck in your gallery looks like a 3/4 ton with 44s on it already.

you say 300 horsepower on the dyno means your making about 150 maybe a little more or less at the rear wheels what gear you have i hope at least a 4.56 what engine if a small block you have less torque thats a factor you have to think about that specialy with big tires gear ratio is a cheaper way to go
hope this helps you
