Man, that'll look really great with some big tires! I know what you mean about the money situation...I'm waiting to install my rcd lift until I can get some bigger tires. Then I'll probably have to wait until I can regear because I want to do everything just right and minimize wear and tear on the driveline.
....the only thing that would worry me on your truck is that it would decrease reliability - I bet one factor in making it to 375k is because it was a stock truck.

Trust me the old suspension was so worn out that i was eating parts because the tapered hole in the knuckles well wasnt put it this way the threaded part on the ball joint fall right out no hammer the knuckles were shot. But now ball joints and everything else suspension wise is brand new........and reliability I have had three tires fall off the truck from knuckle heads over torquing the lugs........thats why I do it myself now hahaaha. But I do worry about reliability sometimes but Its a great truck so no matter what happens Ill fix it its like my baby I cant sell it

Try to bump those 37's to a 13.5 if bfg has them. Much nicer stance. I think I'll be switching to the km2's when the toyos run low, 40k miles on them so far and they have about 25%, evenly worn with no cupping or road noise :P Just to spendy. Were $420 each plus mount and balance ran me over 1700 just for the tires. How much are the km2's in a 37x13.5x17 anyone know?

i know what you mean man but I was like I only live once hahaha and to be honest I like the ride much better now it seems like everything is tighter and a lot less body roll cause the suspension up front seems stiffer...i have put about 1000 miles since the lift and still rollen good
