And here it is with the new Tires. I actually handles a lot better with the larger tires. It rides a lot better over the bumps with them.

also with the larger tires the RPM's sit at 3000 @65 MPH which is right where i wanted it. It would be nice to have a 5 speed trans but, oh well. I am sure i will be replacing my 4 speed with a 5 speed somewhere down the line when i have more time to work on my truck!

-3" body lift
-Lockrite "lunchbox" locker with 4.10 gears(much better than the 3.07 gears that i had)

And then I havn't decided if i want to go with the 63" chevys or downey 3" lift leaf spring. My Leaf springs are shot, they are riding on the overload board and it kills my back going over any bumps. Also i am thinking of going with Obsessed motor sports 3" lift spindles but they are $$$.

I just can't stop wanting to modify my truck. Its too much fun!

what route did you go for swapping your gear ratio, do you have an 7.5 axle or an 8".
