    Oh that's sweet man, I'll be a sophomore as well. I'm living in Umstead dorm again this year, I'm not sure but I may have seen your truck down there.

    And I have my lift on, so my tires look small and I want better tires for this winter, so idk what to do. And one of my rims may be bent..

    It won't be as noticable with your bigger engine, but larger tires will bring down MPGs and power.

    Also you could have a bent rim repaired

    I don't know if I like the smoked lights and red emblem, but I'll leave it for a little while before I take it off.

    Yeah, 4.56s almost perfectly match stock gearing with 33s. Our trucks transmissions are geared different though so 4.56s would really be overkill for you.

    Love the processes you have gone thru.
    A constant work in progress for a never ending build.
    Mine has been the same way.
    I am on my 3 rebuild or rejuvenation and still want to keep making changes.

    Keep on, Keeping on!

    Nice Truck
