this had made me truly jealous... lol gotta love that stance... the only dak i've seen taller than this, had rockwells and tractor wheels... and that just looked like a complete abomination. Even just being a body lift... the wheel tire combo with the height just makes it look killer.

ive been speeding a lot lately then! kinda my style anyway, but i thought i was actually doing the speed limit for a change haha. i guess ill back it down a bit, i dont need extra reasons to be pulled over, a lot of the cops seem to give jacked up trucks a hard time here.
4.10s would make it act like stock gearing with 33s. ill probly do that in a few weeks after i finish the bikes. then when i go all out with a suspension lift, SAS and bigger rear end ill go with 4.56s or 4.88s and a locker. yes i dream big

Rockwells are cool(when D60s just arent tough enough ), but i would agree that tractor tires would look horrible. if i wanted bigger than 38s i would go fo the Michelin XL on a set of rims like my uncle has on his chev. the XLs fit a 20 in rim and from what i have seen come in 2 sizes. 44x14 and 52x16. they look just like my Xs only much much bigger.

I sent you the file... one of these days I'll have to modify it to include gear ratios, but right now it's way to late to think about math.

*Edit* I went ahead and changed it, the new one is in your email.

reply 2 ishotjake- im running a thrush welded on my 93 w/ a 5.2 and it sounds great. ive been having a hard time convincing people that my motor is stock with as mean as it sounds. but other than that the truk looks great. ive been thinkin bout pickin up a 4x4 just to hav as a toy and do the solid axle swap. and personally for the gears probably the easiest thing u can do is get axles w/ 3.92 gears from a durango. i have one from an 02 under my 93 dak and it went right in but i dont know for sure if the front would be as easy

You sir are a canadian crackhead. Holy cow I love it. But may I suggest rears of at least 4.56 or 4.88. I would go with 4.88 myself on 38's. 4.56 on 35's.

Im sure when your speedo says 65mph your doing at least 80 mph. I had 31's on my jeep and when it said 62mph my actual was 75mph
