Trim my a$$ boy!!! As the former owner of three solid axle trucks I am telling you this from experience: Rubbing is a perfectly valid excuse to go with MORE LIFT!!!

The dunes out in Florence Joe, I parked it on that hill for that little photo My camera stopped working right after that photo so I didn't get any other good ones!

I got to find out how well my truck makes it out around those dunes even in 2wd Only the really super soft spots required me to have it in 4.

From 35's to 37's it only raises the truck up another inch actually, because the radius is only increased by an inch since the diameters raised by 2 and the radius is always half of what the diameter is. But even still, an inch can seem like a lot on these trucks! Just going from a small 35 to a true 35 I noticed a difference on my truck!
