Show your lift, wheels, and tires

no close ups but you can see theres plenty of room with the 3 and 2",s of lift... i can take some if you want to see a certian area! the tires wear great too....but i left the rears on too long before switching! (forgot) no complaints for the price at all.....and not much flex with the B.L. either. it might be the wheelbase or frame difference?

4.10's is what I'll end up doing as well. I ran the numbers for tire height (285x75x16) vs rear gears (4.10's) with our 5speed trans and it should net me about 2205 RPM's at 75mph. That's a perfect highway engine speed. The RPM's will probably be just a tad higher because I'm sure that tire size would measure a little bit shorter.
My stock tires are 265x60x18 = 30.5"
I have the 3.55's currently and my RPM's at 75mph are about 2050 and it kinda lugs the engine a little. So 2200 RPM should be perfect. I really don't like the 3.55's at all.
Hmmm....with my stock tires and 3.92's I would have around 2267 RPM's.
So 4.10's with a 32"+ tire is a win win situation.
I was quoted $4000 to swap out the gears (front and rear) and I nearly choked. That was parts and labor. I'm thinking that I can do better on that price if I search around a little more.
