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

No offense taken 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.

Me being a criminal justice major and being taught by alot of Ex prison guards and current part time prison guards. That statement just made cringe thinking about questioning or taking another man's manhood. Yikes

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.

Yup, Edge tells you to let the truck/computer adjust to the changes before 'romping' on it. Im pretty sure it tells you this in the manual to make slight changes and let the computer adjust. I know they told me this on the phone a LONG time ago.
