Yeah I know your right with the 3.90's  I can still go up to a 31' and be fine right? don't have to regear for 31's. when i graduate college i will look into regearing it and putting in 33's like u said, pick the tire size out from the start. thanks for the help!

Hence my recommendation as well, earlier, about 31s.  No biggies, no great cost.

Correct again! How much do you figure 31's will cost? $400-500? and yeah about the master cylinder. ordered it a few days ago! Marlin guys are really nice and helpful. Will be in on tues.

honestly, it is going to be about 500-600.... its rare to find a 31 cheaper than $150 and then you factor in mounting, balancing, and possible road hazard warrantiesm plus taxes

Point taken. anybody got any idea's for tires? what looks good? I don't want true true offroading tires, want some onroad/offroad rather.

BFG's are a good tire IMHO. Cheap too. I got all terrains on now, my next set will be mud terrains. The BFG's seem to have the hardest rubber compound out there. Guess thats why they get such great mileage.

With all that said, I'm sure you'll get an indefinite amount of opinions on tires.

BTW, nice truck.

What kind of driving will you be doing? how much wheelin and what kind of terrain?

Heres my truck on 33's back when I first brought it home, Stock gearing 4.37 and stock sprins they fit/drove nice only rubbing when they were hitting the bump stops. I loved this truck ever since I layed eyes on it, when it sat in a field on a farm .



Mandatory flex shot , Had to remove the gay rollbar , It was installed by sheetmetal screws.

what kinda of driving? mostly highway/around time mileage. not much offroading. not until I got money in the bank to replace stuff in case parts break. after all my 81 is my daily driver
