id do it on your truck, or have fun with the POS 6.0's

you have the 5.4L you can really beef that up and im confident that with that motor and the right gearing you wouldnt have any worries spinnin 44+ tires. Id try to find a stroker kit for that, i know pascal performance sells one that makes the 5.4 a 6.2L

But id look for gear rations around 5.38 if you want to go that low. Right now im ABOUT close to stock with 5.38's and 46's

So if you can stay lower then id do that.

From the little I've read on that company/kit, it's definitely not worth the money. You'll get some gains, but it's going to cost a pretty penny. Like I said though, I haven't read too much into it.

Have you figured out your death wobble? I haven't checked the thread for awhile and didn't see anything while skimming. I know you're using heims and DOM for your steering, do you have track bar? Have you tracked down what the cause is?

The new paint and tires look alot better though!

what kind of traction bars/ ladder bars do you have on the truck. i know when i built mine i didnt put traction bars/ladder bars or shocks. and after around 6 months when all the springs completlely settled my truck started a horrible death wobble when i would get up to around 30mph. one time went flying off the road and ended up out in a pasture when i got it chilled out.
i dont know how yours is but it happened everytime i got up to around 30
when i built all the right crap under there is stopped.
i would go 2.5 tons thats what im doing. were did you look up the disc brakes for 5-600

Sidebar- Not every 6.0 is a POS. Just FYI.
