Is funny how you get used to it. I think I could graduate to 37's and a 6 inch lift at this point...but as it stands its a bit scary loading up the ATV in the back of the truck..

I don't see how you all can stand the lift kits! I had a 6er on my truck for a while and I was pissin blood and it was drinking diesel like it was going out of style. not to mention I couldn't pull my gneck

I've always been curious about swampers. Its about time for new tires and I think I'll go BFG's again.

I want new wheels too but I don't want to spend a billion dollars. I have pro comp alloys now and I hate them.

You would do fine with 6 and 37's Lisa, I have 6 and 35's (for now). We load the 2 quads in the back almost every weekend. Granted they are the girls quads but they still kicked my *** lifting them until we got the ramps. Troy found some long ramps online and life is much nicer now.

No way! I got hammered by horsepuller for my sig line. the filter caught the four letter word. It was just the asterics. I was told that I could not have that kind of lingo and had a 3 day vacation for it!

You are right. I do drink diesel. If it were up to me I would put all of the stock stuff back on it (which I do have), but my daughters are crazy for my truck and we like to going dirtbike riding, so it being lifted helps a bit out in the desert.

Yeah....the ramps I have right now don't really cut it anyway.

My brother has some home-made steel ramps, extra long that he fabbed up to load his Grizzly into he the back of the Cummins. I'll just beg and be annoying and call him every day until he makes me a pair.

I got an infraction a while back too, I guess somehow I had managed to get around their profanity filter. But the only times we've ever gotten into trouble was when we were in the 7.3 tech section. I mean...if you post naked pictures or something they will getcha...but generally they let us have fun over here.

My mileage isn't too bad, I average 14-15mpg every tank no matter how hard I get on it.

6 1/2" pro comp lift, the tires are 35" pro comp xtreme mudders. As soon as those wear out I am going up to a 37 or 38's!!
