Possible Brain Fart, help!

Lastnight in a drunken state of mind the bright idea or selling/trading my L for a supercrew/superduty crossed my mind. I have been wanting a larger and slower truck since my racing ticket which has completely modified my driving habbits. And I have been noticing how careful I have to be when driving around on crappy roads. If I got a Supercrew it would recieve a 6 inch lift and get put on either 35s or 36s. What do ya'll think?

Why don't you just buy a Buick Roadmaster, dye your hair blue, start walking with a stoop, and move to Palm Beach. LOL

no im just a mechanic at one. Ive had a 01L and several new body style 4x4 trucks, they are both fun. I got rid of my lightning only because it was too small. And i like to have 4x4 fun.

It's Easy, Just complete this unbiased poll and decide for yourself.

Do I need a 4x4? If so, no worrys, buy the 4x4.
(I think I had my Z71 & Screw in 4 wheel maybe 3 times)

Do I haul heavy loads or pull heavy trailers?
(Actually I pull a trailer with my L. It pulls much better than my Z71 did.)

Do I like passing slower vehicles (Z28's, RT's, and a bunch of winged ricers)?

Do I get a woody when the hotties give me a thumbs up or ask if they can ride (chances aren't good in a Screw).

Do I like the deafening droan from 35 or 36" mudders on the highway? (Evidently some people do!)

Do I like to hang the corners or do I like to pretend I'm driving a motorhome?

Do I like the clatter of the diesel (I had to shut mine down at the bank drivethru and McDonalds) or do I like the suttle yet omnipresent rumble that says "Yes, that's me buddy, and no you ain't heard nothing yet."

Do I like to let my engine run and keep the AC on when making short stops? (Screw wins here, I came home hammered one night, let it run to cool down, passed out and it ran all night long! I'm sure my L would have been sucking air by morning)

Do I like the smell of burning rubber? (I experienced this only once in the Screw and it wasn't on purpose but I'm glad it stopped!)

Do I like the blower whine? (I think the turbo whines too but couldn't hear it over the diesel clatter!)

Do I like getting tickets? (Hell, it's easy to get a ticket in a Screw, I know from experience)

PLEASE COMPLETE THIS UNBIASED POLL AND MAKE YOUR DECISION.

Screw _________ $45,000
Lightning _______ $32,000
