just a thought. and it could all be done for fairly cheap. 10k TOPS which is cheaper than buying a diesel and lifting it.
Couldn't agree more. Why buy a whole new truck and start the payments over again ? I'd swap in some Dana 60 or tougher axles. Swap in some kind of diesel perhaps, and be done. Custom truck + no payments (or at least not as large of payments vs. a new diesel)

It was a joke bud (hence laughing devil face). I am only assuming here, but I think he is joking around. Making fun of the threads that always follow a post like this. Then we go on to bash anyone running more then 37" tires on IFS, and then it goes on and on and on !

Also confused. You say it will be a pavement pounder. A diesel is cool and all, but any practical use for it ? How heavy do you tow ? haul ? Or is it just for the "cool factor" ? (nothing wrong with that, just curious)
