When are you going to stop talking about it and do it? In the word's of starsky DO IT!!!!!! (off starsky & hutch)
yeah the tires were a steal! they had good tread on them too!!! i got the lift for $1360 from 4wheelparts with a lifetime warranty! the wheels were only 780 didn't really shop around for them.
pat don't worry about it!

Real men just DO IT! I really didn't take my time. I looked on the forum and saw that Fabtech was what the majority said go with and I went with that. Didn't want chrome for my rims. Don't like that look on the off road trucks. Saw a great deal on my Pro Comp wheels and saw the buy 3 get 1 free pro comp tire deal. thats how I ended up with my lift and tires. Only thing i'm shopping for is a tuner.
Thats awesome. Can you get "Actual Measurements" on your tire? These 37's are something like 37.5 inches tall and around 14 inches wide so that has a lot to do with my rubbing, the lugs are huge as well. You also do not have wheel lip moldings to worry about being in an STX. Not taking shots at you just trying to figure out how you have no rubbing. Nice truck

i will get actual measurements tomorrow. they hit the front valence on a turn and bump. I *think* the tires are like 36.7 and 13.6. Not exactly sure. They feel good on the road cant wait to get my edge and make those 4.88's work.

does anyone have any edge hints, tips, or tricks for me. How will the edge improve the gears or vice versa? If memory serves correct I should not go to level 3 off the bat correct? I think I remember Thumper saying something about letting the drivetrain adjust to the changes.

i am trying to figure out what my rpms are gonna be like on the highway. right now going about 50 it is at around 1500. but the speedo is also off because of the tires, i think at 50 it is off around 10. anyone have an idea at what it will be like at around 70 or 80?
