well, because wylie isn't exactly close to anything, we have to grade on a little bit of a curve...anything within 20 miles is considered "right down the road"

33's with a 6in lift seem a little small most do 35's however i did a 6in then 2in body with 35's keep in mind the larger the tires you may what to look into new gears

after looking at a few pics in some searches, i'm thinking of just doing a 2.5" leveling kit with the 33's...the wheels/tires seem to put the truck up in the air quite a bit, by themselves.

here's a good example with the exact same wheel/tire combo that i'm considering with just a 2.5" leveling kit...

I'm enjoying my 2.5" leveling kit with 33's, but want a 6" or 8" lift in the near future with 36" or 37" tires... If I stopped spending so much time here I would stop wanting...
