if you have 4x4.. you will need to match the gears in the front as well as the rear..
4.56 gears will help and bring back the speedo to also stock location...

hes 2wd...and wrong, the gear ratio doesnt affect the spedometer, tire size does.

But I say gears also. How far out do your tires stick out? If theey dont stick out far enough idk how well the pocket flares would look imo. If they stick out then I think flares for sure

they stick out a good bit. Its seems like most are saying flares, which was one of my picks anyway. Im debating if I do the flares if unpainted they would look good or if they had to be shiny to match the truck. Gears would help alot, but I cant seem to find a shop around here to do em!

I say go with the pocket flairs. That and a 3 in body lift are my next mods. And having the same times and same wheel adapters the flairs would deffinantly help with keeping the truck clean

But on a side note that hood looks sick....

Silver, I will not be doing a hemi swap. 3 more years (of school)and I can just go buy a CTD lol

and the flares supposedly help NONE in keeping the truck clean, but rather help with the rocks on the rockers. We will see

When you go to a larger tire.. your speedo gets out of wack... adding proper gears will fix that ..
take in count my Jeep.. I went from a 32in tire to a 35.. i was about 10k off on speedo.. after up grading to 4.88 gears.. i was almost back to nornmal..
When you match the proper gears with the proper tire size it all works together.. So no i,m not wrong...
