I took a couple of pictures of the crap i got laying around for my truck..


35 BFG KM2's on MT 15x10 wheels


Superlift, Moog suspension parts, Ingalls alignment kit, lug nuts, etc..

and..




That's the new wheels and tires, sitting next to my stock truck, pretty goofy looking.I gotta get the damn thing jacked up

I can't wait for some decent weather so i can get after installing it all. I still need to get my body lift, so i can do the Superlift and Body Lift hopefully in the same week.

 

Damn! Thats gonna look saweet.

 

Its gonna look Bad A$$ man! Make sure to post many pics when its all done.

 

swesome. cant wait to see it rolling on those tires

 

Hell yeah!!

 

Gonna looks great man!

 

i wish i got that "crap" laying around in my garage to be put on my truck lol. Things gonna look ba when its done.

 

I thought people were done posting teaser threads!

Get on it right meow!

 

Gonna be sweet dude!

 

Hard to believe those big ol tires will fit sitting beside the stock truck.Cant wait to see the end result

 

damn its gonna look real good!

 

do the bodylift first, then the superlift, might make things easier

 

I hate to have parts just laying around. It's going to look good! What are you doing for gears?

 

**** the lift kits man..that looks perfect just like that!
haha, should look sick when its all done

 

NIce, it will look great. Kinda reminds me of Matt's truck before his SAS.

 

hey thanks guys! I am pretty amped on getting it all together.

about the gears, sadly i have 3.73 L/S gears in the diffs now, but on the upside of things, it's not my daily driver. I have a old 93 B2200 that I drive on a daily basis. So, I'm going to get it all jacked up, get everything together, and I'm sure i'll drive it around town here and there, but won't be driving it too much until I get a gear swap. I don't know, either 4.56 or 4.88. I haven't made up my mind entirely yet. I do a mixture of city and highway driving, probably 4.56's is what I'll end up doing.

 

I'd go with 4.88's if I were you.

 

You think 4.88s Tom? Yeah, I have a little bit of time to think on it, I hope to have it all geared and lifted this spring.

 

Definitely 4.88s.
That truck is going to be miserable to drive with 3.73s.

 

wow thats gonna be huge compared to now

 

I was going to use 4.56's with my 31's and 3.0 on my old truck. I sold them to a guy doing a BL and 33's. If he's using 4.56's for 33's, I would definately go with 4.88's.

As I said earlier though, get to work right meow! Damn teaser threads...

 

i think 4.88's are overkill... i've got 4.10's with 31"'s and when i go to 33's i'm not re-gearing... i want the top end for the hiway... i hate my RPM/speed 130km/h at just below 3000 rpm

 

ok so this thing still isn't lifted yet!?

 

Obviously you haven't learned about re-gearing. If you wanted to keep the same gearing as stock (4.10s and 31" tires) with 35" tires, you would use a 4.63 ratio which doesn't exist. So 4.56 is a higher gearing and you would be getting less power to the ground, not even factoring in the extra drag and extra rolling mass of the bigger/heavier tires. On top of that, the difference between 4.56 and 4.88 gears is only a couple hundred RPM at freeway speed.
4.10 gear and 33s will work okay for you though, for what it's worth.

To the original poster, I'm assuming you have a 4.0L (?) which in your year would be the OHV version. You could go with either gearing in that engine and it should work okay in reality. But I still think going to 4.88s would be better over 4.56, especially if you have another daily driver.

 

Agreed^
