ok i will call you when i am ready. the stands i have at the farm only go 12 inches i think. they are dinky ones the truck would probly crush them. i hope to have the lift in and done by the time i go back to school. i still got a whole week after next to do it. i dont care bout runnin round with a little smaller tire after i get it in. i want to find a set that i will like before i jump on them. i dont want to be unhappy with what i get

it wont look too bad with a 4 inch kit on it..... for a while anyway, i wouldnt go with anymore than a 33 on a 4 inch kit. plus you only have 3.55's.

it would be close. with the 3.55's and 33's you might lose a hair on mileage but not nearly as bad as 35 or larger...lol. depends on how hard you take off. highway miles should stay the same or improve slightly. around town is where the big tires and 3.55's will hurt you
