Very CLEAN SCrew!!!
Do you tow that trailer I see in the picts? I have a 30' Wilderness that my SCrew pulls like a Champ!
Enjoy!

 

Thanks

Yes I do tow that trailer. It is about 4500lbs empty and with the sandrail, water, and gear it is probably about 7000 - 7500 lbs. It pulls great tons of torque. I will probably re-gear soon to get a little better performance with the larger tires.

 

Why in the world would you waste your money on tires wheels and a lift on a 2 Wheeler!!! Maybe you should have spent it on the truck when you bought it and you could have actually went offroading with it......

 

I like the lift kit... it looks good! To respond to Beardoge, some of us like the 4X4 look but will, under no circumstances, take our baby off road.

 

A 4x2 can't go off-road? I guess Beardoge has never seen a desert race. What those 4x2s do is amazing! When you get a chance to see an off-road race on ESPN or Speedvision, check it out. I guarentee you will be amazed!

 

ACOLEY...

Your truck looks great...What lift do you have? I personally prefer an even lift all the way around or slightly higher in front. Getting ready to lift my truck as well.

 

A 4x2 will go a lot of placed offroad. Plus it takes less gas to get there. Hey if you don't offroad much, then a 2x4 may be a waiste of money.

I like to get offroad a bit so I opted for the 4x4.

As far as the lift goes, one thing I would have done is add an extra inch to the front so that it's level. But thats more of a look thing to me, not really that functional.

 

Thanks for all the input guys. In certan situations the front seems a little lower than the rear (like in these pictures) other times it seems to look perfectly level. I think its OK because I don't want it to squat too much in the back when I have the trailer and toys hooked up.

Beardoge, I like the way the truck looks being little higher and bigger that the other 4x2's on the road. I didn't want a 4WD because the truck was more expensive, parts are more expensive, mileage is worse (I commute 40 mile on way to work), insurance is more expensive, and I would not take a $30k plus truck any where more than where a 2WD could go. So to me, not a waste.

Screwforsurf, I have the 3.5 inch Fabteck Spindles in front and 2 inch blocks in the rear.

Thanks again.

 

ACOLEY...

I agree...For towing, your set-up is sweet! Have fun.

 

ACOLEY , I Didn't mean to rip on your truck it looks great! But to me it seems like a waste of time and money to lift a two wheeler but I guess everybody has to waste money on something right.
Me personally I waste it on snowmobiles. So I Drive alot in bad weather, towing trailers in deep snow and Icy conditions. And I wouldn't really want a truck that sits to high, I have seen a lot of tall trucks tipped over in the ditch with a trailer on top of them and sleds scattered about.
As there aren't too many desserts in Michigan I don't really have to worry about ground clearance. So I was just wondering why you lifted it and was not trying to lambaste you at all.


Beardoge

 

Beardoge,

no problemo man, I was just trying to explain my reasons for really not wanting to go with the 4wd. If I was going to be in the snow like you, no question I would go 4wd. But it rarely gets below 60 degrees here, so instead I go 2wd with 4wd looks. Its all cool.

Hey have you ever been out to the dunes in Michigan? I hear they are pretty sweet.

 

Looks great ACOLEY...

I would love to do the same thing, however, would have to sell off one of the kids right now to make it happen :-)

 

I think it looks good too. I put a lift on mine, but mine is a 4-wheeler. I put 3" performace accessories body lift on mine, pics are in signature (Photo Gallery). How do you like those pro comps? I love mine. Ride looks nice.

 

hey all those photo's look great, how are those pro comp's. did you guys go with the at's or the mud terrains? what was the cost? curt
