Decision time.... PICS
Alright guys...I've reached that point where I have been stuck on this decision for some time now... I'm up for input.
I was rear ended last semester, and I basically fixed it all on my own (BFH, impact tools, patience...) and was able to pocket a grand!! Exciting I know. But I am the saving kind and I opened an account to start saving for whatever my next vehicle would be, or for a rainy day i supposed.
Fast forward to today. I have been wanting to do a BL forever it seems, but I have mixed feelings on them. I did shackles and torsion crank and was prety happy except now my 31s are inedaquate.... so I am debating just getting some 32 ATs or maybe throwing a BL in the mix... but then I would need like 35s to look right. and thats alot of meat for a DD with 135kmiles that I need to last me for at least the last year of college...
So anyway, here are some pics of what I have now... What do you think of her? And what should I do next?
I think only the last 2 pics show my current ride height...

according to your sig, you have a 3.0 with 4.10's your going to want to regear to a lower ratio (probly 4.56's) dont forget to take that into account. it may look cool with bigger tires, but if its struggling (and a 3.0 needs to rev) its just not going to be much fun to drive. i think it looks good the way it is. no need to stess steering and driveline parts. and its roughly 1,000 bucks to change out 2 differential setups (if you do the work yourself, dont know what to expect as far as shop labor. and it would be money well spent if youve never set up a gearset.)
