Sounds like it should be a sweet truck when you're done. You'll love the 4.7 t-case gears! If you make it out to Disney on the 10th you can check out the front spring setup on my truck. The front hanger is dropped way down... allowing high steer with less than 3" of lift. The downside is the front hangers are now rock anchors... can't remember if you were with us on the trip at Disney when I nearly rolled it coming down a ledge when the front hangers caught?

So there doesn't seem to be a perfect setup for keeping the truck low and getting good steering. But I'm all for figuring something out since my truck has that non-removeable 3" body lift. 34x9.5's with no lift would be sweet!  :best:

I missed that, but saw you roll it into cory's taillight!  Don't think that was a shackle problem.  :lipsrsealed:  I'm hoping to make it out there, we have family coming for christmas so i may have too many honey do's. 

I remember you telling me about getting your rig with 4.7's - and honestly I didn't understand what you were saying.   :gap:
