WhiteExpress · Feb 8, 2012

Very Very Nice! I'm almost convinced to go with the 7" over the 4" (spindles only for the front). We'll see.

What Wheel/Tire ya running?

Thanks everyone!!! Next order of business is to swap out gears. When i bought the truck it came with the 3.21 rearend so I'm running kind of slugish right now. Probably going to go with 4.10's to give it a little pick me up. I've heard a lot of people going with the 4.56 gears but i do some highway driving so don't wanna go too crazy.

looks great, btw what kind of tires are those?

I went with the 35x12.5x20 Toyo Open Country tires and 12x10 Helo wheels. I was really surprised that no trimming was needed

I had 4.56's and 34" tires. I still wish I had gone with 4.88s. Even out on the highway. I highly highly advise 4.56s with 35s.

I've always preferred the looks of a levelled truck as opposed to a lifted truck.... but darn that looks nice!

Congrats!

How were your RPM's at highway speed with the 4.56's?? Did you get the transmission tuned to change your shift points?

WhiteExpress · Feb 8, 2012

At 80 MPH I was around 2300-2400 RPMs. I had a Hypertech tuner, which I recall programming the 'transmission shift points' but not positive.

The gears really helped make the truck drive-able around town again, where I did 98% of my driving (hence I wanted 4.88s).

With 35" tires (quick use of my handy dandy calculator) you should be around 2300 RPM (this calc seems to run about 80-120 RPM high, as it doesn't account for Torque Converter / other slop / lag). I think that's a damned fine 80 MPH RPM.

I have the diablosport tuner currently installed, but don't think it has the ability to change shift points. I might be wrong on this cause I haven't really explored all it's capabilities. Would it hurt if I were to install the new gears and not change the shift points??

Sexy! Makes me want to lift mine lol

Not at all. The point of changing gears is to get your MPH / RPM ratio back closer to stock.

Nice lookin truck man, great taste indeed lol

Cst 7" with xd thump rims.

I also got 7" cst lift with 35" nitto trail grapplers and 20" xd thump rims.. Those Procomps help..

Also wantted a little more height I only got 5" overall lift. any ideas? body lift?

ALSO can someone please tell me how to turn off the seat belt dinger. It's annoying for short in and out of the truck trips.

How much did the kit run you? And how much were the upgraded shocks?

It looks great and wanna get this same kit for my '12.
