Where to go with my truck?
This is a long ass post so if you don't read it all I wont be mad
OK. So I've been thinking about what to do next to my truck and I'm all .
So far it's got the 32 MT/Rs, Chevy Springs out back, BJ Spacers up front and will have sliders shortly. For the next step there are two main routes I could take. First is locking the rear and regearing then I could get some other junk like bumpers or maybe a snorkel. The other route would be SAS. I've been sitting here thinking of the pros and cons of each.
Plan 1
Pros:
Locked out back, can go alot more places
4.88s would be nice with the 32s
Pretty rear bumper
Snorkel
Cons:
Reagearing IFS front diff (waste of money), and reagearing again when SAS later
Ass end still a few inches higher than the front which I am liking less and less everyday
Still no flex
Snorkel (Ugly, no offense to anyone who has one becuase they work)
Plan 2 (SAS)
Pros:
Solid Axle, Strength and Flex
Will only have to regear once (5.29s)
Bring my intake up (I don't like a wet air filter)
Tires stay on the ground alot more
Good base to continue building on
Make my truck more level, I'd have to add another leaf into the chevys to lift it a little more to match the front. 5" SAS and my chevies lifted my right around 4 inches.
Cons:
No locker
I would have to run the 32s for a while until I could save up for the gears/locker and new tires. I don't think the 32s would look too stupid.
I can't decide which way to go. I think that SASing would almost increase my trucks ability the same as a locker. The only time I really ever get stuck is when I start lifting tires, my IFS is as flexy as IFS will ever be without serious $$$. The locker would be nice to have, I could try to install one myself in my current 4.10 diff.
Either way I need to do something before Tellico
Help me tell me what to doooo.
