Thanks for all the imput guys. Your right i dont put anything in the bed really but NOS bottles when they get empty, lol. I tow my girlfriends horse trailer every once and a while but dont have too, she has a f250 v10. It does pick up a lot of chicks. if I could regear it for a decent price then I would but gears are fricking expensive!

Thats one bad truck. I say keep her like she is. Spend a little money on some 4.56's and you'll be happy. And Maybe a Cummins for a Swap. Lets see some pics of that exhaust.

Drop it down to a 4in lift and it would look damn good.

3rd engine, its taking a lot to get this thing to the HP level I want it at.
Drop to a 4" lift,305 or 315 tire with what ever rim you want.4.11's and 315 tire is a good combo.

Kenny told Kris to sell them as he was lowering his truck down, and Kenny was going to put 22's and 35's on , and told Kris to sell his gears, which he went ahead and did, no less than a week later, Kenny decided he would STILL be slow and have no excuse anymore for his lack of overacceleration, so therefore is keeping his lift on to justify himself and he small pee-pee.

I have a feeling there is a lot of that going on around here...

I just cannot get over how much money you guys spend on your rigs. You do one thing for a month and then decide you don't like it and spend the money to do something completely different. I mean, I'm not complaining about it, but gezus, I wish I had money like that to blow...

Kenny, I think your truck looks fabulous just the way it is. If you decide to do something a little different, I think Justin is right I think it would look good with a 4" lift.
