Well thats what started it until I got the truck fixed lol I was frustrated so I went to the dealership to look at trucks and starting loving the 2500s due to their size. But now that my 1500 is fixed Im not sure anymore. Might keep this for a little while. It only has 16k miles lol

Yea, totally normal. Just my 2 cents it's why I said that. Now don't get it twisted,I wouldn't mind taking in my truck and trading in on 2500 but for what I use my truck for I would be wasting money add the biggest/heaviest thing is my 35'pull behind camper. Which I don't move much anyways

Please keep it lol. Only 16k, its got a lot of life left. Powdercoat some suspension parts, new wheels and tires and you're golden. Just my opinion

Hey, separate question. You put a spacer on top of your front suspension? How's the front handling it? It's crossed my mind to order spacers for the MaxTrac 7"lift

Lol i know man. Ill probably look into some 15.50 if I can fit them.

I bought new 35's, used for a month, then bought these 37s, used for a month, now on to some 37/38x15.50 with some new wheels...I'll never be happy :( lol

Yes. I bought the 4.5" spindles then bought a 3" coil spacer (which i grinded/sanded down to 2.5" since they dont make a true 2.5" spacer) and its a little stiff, but I figured it would settle over time.

Now the 2" spacer/coils would be the ideal balance between ride quality and lift height.

Cool, again it's crossed my mind but I have to be cautious not to go right back to the really lifted side as my wife doesn't enjoy my mpg LOL haha

If it is working for you right now I say keep it and save some more money for a down payment on a 2500. My 2 cents.

Ideally I will keep this for as long as it runs, but in a couple years buy a 2500 also
