dont lock the front yet unless you wanna spend major money on some birfields

Ahh whatever, not everyone drives like you though. :screwy: :laugh:

I have a welded front end and Aussie rear right now with 33"s and I've never busted anything. Just don't jump on the skinny pedal every chance you get. Besides, I'm pretty sure Wermz is gonna go easy because it's his DD too.

actually you should be fine with 33s and getting on it but dont weld it cuz that just sucks for turning.  Also my truck is my dd for my 50 mile round trip to school and back every day

Overall, I'd say ideally to have it ready to run the 'con, would be about 4"s of lift, some 33"s, mabye 35"s, weld the rear, aussie the front, and throw in your 4.7s :thumbs:
Those 4.7s are going in this weekend..  :woohoo:

You could just ask people who've done it already. I for one love em! If you can operate a grinder and use regular mechanics tools, it is a fairly simple install. Just use a labelling pen to keep track of what goes where... :thumbs:

I'll come clean with you guys.  I payed the MC shop to install the gear set into my extra t-case for me.  Not that I couldn't do it, I rent a studio app in Santa Cruz so I just don't have the facilities to do it.  My land lady freaked out when I did a transmission t-case swap in the street in front of her house..  :haha:    I'm swapping in that t-case this sat..  Helllo land lady

But I can tell you I'm pretty sure I will love them.  there has been several times when I wish I had a lower range at Hollister. :yesnod:
