Im sitting here wishing I could start all over again with all the money put into it. Not sure what to do about it if anything. This would not be an issue if I owned two cummins but I dont and wont for a good while I assume. But starting over with this one is a huge loss on parts. FMJ

No no no

Pull your head out of your ass. Don't give up on the build. You and your direction are going good and you will be happy in the end.

Dude I posted it on FB and you "liked" it. Ill send yeah a shout out.

Im only kinda regretting the lift and 37s. Ive been thinking it might have been better to drop the back to match the front and then stuff what I could in there. Build it for a little more speed and not loose power and MPG from the bigger tires. The only thing about MPGs that I really care about is how far I can go with a single tank. I expect high fuel costs and lowerish MPGs with a diesel truck.

I also had thought if I did that that I could have kept the bumpers but modded them to cover the front tires and be closer to the ground. Id keep it for protection over a sport type bumper. I could have called the project "Road Train".

I know exactly where you are at. That is why I sold the 07. I was stuck with a long arm lift that I could not remove. That is the biggest reason why I sold the truck. On a positive note, it would be very easy for you to sell your suspension without losing much money. Your kit is in high demand.

As for the bumpers, those will go easy as well as long as you find someone local. I'm sure you could work out a swap plus some cash.

And, Nope, I wouldn't change direction with mine, either.

Reece, your truck is beastly. You have so much into that, you just got your head all confused. You got a killer truck, keep it up. Pretty much my inspiration truck lol. I'm sure with many others as well.

Thanks guys.

Matt, yeah ive debated this. With all the oilfield workers out here. Im pretty sure I could get good coin as is. Also im sure I could get a fair price for the lift. Tires and maybe rims im not sure about. Oh and I still have my oem bumpers.

Im pretty sure if the coin was flipped id be posting the same thread. The only real cure im guessing is that a get that second cummins. :(
