I am out of the country and just venting a bit.
Recently bought a Limited with airbags. By the time I do the BDS lift wheels and tires and a couple others things expense was getting up over $7k Which I was happy to spend. But I had truck fever so bad I forgot to make sure the Limited Crew with 6'3" bed would fit in my garage, it does not.
I am out of the country often enough that I need to garage the truck when I am gone. (I guess) Battled in my head back and forth, going to loose money and trade the Limited for a Sport Crew with the 5'7" bed.
So i figure lift it too on 35s. The air bag lift for the Limited was going to be way more complicated and more money. kit was $2100 now it will be about $1400
I told my super lifted truck freak friend and he tells me not to do it.
He says I will like the way it looks but not the way it drives.
Tells me I like taking off too fast and its not going to really do it. My gas mileage will be noticeably worse and more wear and tear on the suspension.
He recommends I just level it and put 33' on it.. I thought well maybe do that first.
I like the Fuel "Pump" wheels a lot. But just now realize the stock tire appear to already be 33" I guess a Toya Rt will look a little more aggressive but not any bigger.
He will still put on any lift and tires I want but insist I will not like driving it.
Got me wondering a bit. The completed loaded Gray Sport I am looking at MSRP is $54300. They have agreed to sell it for $42. hmm.
