See I actually love that stance. Like the size of the tires there is almost the size of the fender well opening. I dont like the look of the huge tire that if flexed would hit the bumper or fenders.

I think I'm the only person who likes that look haha I think its sportier for some reason.

This is all that matters then.
Then Bilsteins shall make its way on ;)

I was using that as an estimate because I remember one time I went to get diesel and that was the difference and I was like WTFFF.
But with my 35s I get high 14s low 15s running a diablo on 87 octane. But thats being very grandpa esque with the throttle.

I forgot you were tuned too, maybe I need to look into that because I can only manage about 330 miles on a full tank..which is like 12 mpgs!

YES^ big difference as well. Your covering a lot more ground than your odo shows! Use a gps unit to see just how off you are.

I intend to do put an 87mm throttle body on and then do data logging with the big tires and lift and all my mods and get a custom engine and trans tune to do me until the 2012 cmr stuff is figured out for boosted applications.

Absolutely haha
I had already discussed throttle body with jhinkle but it sorta took a back burner to getting this truck UP. That's my #1 then after that the TB will come which I'll do a write up on and then the tuning shortly after. I want to see and be able to review what it all adds individual and then together.

Should be a beast, the install is cake. back end is nothing to worry about. It doesnt tell you too but i had to take off the brake calipers to get the coils in without overextending the lines.and I had to use a reamer to make on hole larger for the track bar drop bracket, but no biggie. And the front is definitely more involved, use a cutoff wheel for the diff mount, way nicer cuts than a sawzall. Take your time with the upper diff bolts, they are a ***** and a half to get out haha.. It helps to have a buddy or two to stand on the lca when you put the strut assembly back in. But overall it's straightforward... Good luck!

Awesome thanks man. I'll add those notes to my collection of install info for it. I've never did an IFS install before.. pretty much what I'm most worried about.

Well if you're too worried there's always the kore cv joints and a choice between the kore or fabtech uniball upper control arms lol those were a little too deep for my pockets though... Maybe one day haha

Just worried about the install. IE dropping the front differential and etc.

Too steep for my pockets as well. I'm 100% okay with having a pavement queen :) haha
The most offroad my truck sees are the roads to well sites and with the larger companies I'm working for now they are better than my driveway haha.
