this is pretty much the look i'm going for myself. next time you're at the store you should snap off a pic of your truck sitting next to someone's car so we can see just how high you're sitting up there

The nerf bars or side steps... I like havin em kinda where they're at, especially now because you almost can't get into the truck without them. As far as the gears go, I have the 3:92's. If I had the 3:55's, I'd probably go with 4:10's but I'm too close with what I have already that I wouldn't even notice a difference. I have zero problems with the set up I've got now, so it works for me The reason I wouldn't go any lower than 4:10's (ie, 4:56's) is because I do a lot of highway driving at 80-85mph and I don't wanna be running 5K rpms all the time. I absolutely love my the way the truck turned out. I could fit 40's on it if I wanted to, but I like the way it is now, plus anything larger really would be quite hard on the truck. I'll try and get a comparison picture for you guys to put it in better perspective. All I know is I tower over my F-250 with a 4" lift and 35's.

Not sure of the gas mileage yet. Kinda scared to figure it out. It's not looking all that great though. Good thing I have other vehicles to use too!

$7300 + repeated front end repairs. Good luck with that.
Looks good though.

if you want lift like that, then you're better off staying with a 2wd. our front ends can handle larger tires without CV axle problems and our lift kits normally cost less
