Yep.


3" body lift
8" BDS suspension lift
41" tires.
K&N intake
Flowmaster exhaust
5.13 gears
Programmer.

He was at a car show.

I'm 5"11 and the top of my head is at the bottom of the window. Big truck.

C'Mon Josiah. Get that body lift put on and some more lift.

I looked that up yesterday after he told me. I couldn't find a BDS 8" lift either. I'm just the messenger though. That's what he told me.

Right now I'm purchasing a Z1 off ebay (shhh), that was something I've always wanted and finally cracking the whip. I really want a body lift and 38x15.5r22 Mud Grapps, unfortunately they stopped making them. I can settle for 37x13.5r22, but again they dont make those. I want 22's as I dont spend much time offroad anymore. I look on craigslist often for the 3" body kit, hoping to pick it up on the side and tackle it on an uneventful weekend.

Thanks for the post khendrix, nice pic

KMC Rockstars more than likely. And I'm looking for something a little more aggressive than what Toyo has to offer, no offense to those that have them it's a great tire just not what I'm looking for.

I'm unsure of how long they lasted, I didn't keep tabs on that at all. If you look at the thread when I mounted them that will give you your answer. I will let you know the miles I drove from that time period. It's possible to make these tires LAST if you're a mileage conscious person.

The lower the ratio gets (higher the number), the "weaker" the pinion gets. This is because the pinion is a smaller diameter and has less contact with the ring gear.

The "more gear" you have, the weaker it is. Without serious engine mods.. it will never matter and 5.13 gears are fine.
