Talking Finally!!!

Well, it's finally done! 6" Fabtech, 35's, steel cowl induction... Now i just need to drop the gear ratio to a 4:11 and we're set! Woo!

Looks real good. But are you sure you want 4.11s with 35" tires? Everybody on here seems to like 4.56s with 35s, and I have to agree. I just lifted my f150 6" and put 35s on it, and I have 4.56s

Yeah? I was definitely considering that option... I figured 4:11 would be a safe choice... What is your RPM at 70mph? I'd like to keep it below 2000... Then again, it's not like I was concerned with fuel economy. If i was, I wouldn't've lifted the damned thing lol :P

4.11s would probably keep you right at 2000rpms at 70mph. Maybe slightly over. How much city driving and towing do you do? And what size engine do you have? City driving and towing is where the 4.56s would be better than 4.11s. Going down the interstate, the 4.11s would probably give you a little better gas mileage than 4.56s, and 4.11s would give you a little lower rpms cruising on the highway

Looks good. I agree with the others who say you should get 4.56 gears. I have 34" tires and wish I would have done those, instead of 4.10. Mine worked out to be almost exactly like the stock setup, but I like a little more bottom end.

To be honest, I am actually leaning towards the 4.56's... That extra bottom end would be really nice... Besides, if I was concerned with fuel economy, I wouldn't have lifted it and put 35's on it

That is a big Blockbuster in the first pic. Lift looks good, not the biggest fan of the grill however.

For some reason Ive always been a fan of that grill. Maybe it was Memos truck that put the impression in my mind
