    The man in brown stopped by today and I am ecstatic! I have been wanting to lift my truck for over a year, and I was finally able to get the parts, install will start next week if not this weekend.

    Thanks for all your help throughout my quest to find the right lift.

    I actually didnt notice much improvement from the rack bushings, my steering rack must have other issues, but I have heard good things.
    I noticed my sway bar bushings are very worn, and I think replacing those will be a big help.

    If I were you I'd go 285 75 16, or a 33/12.50, the tires do look a bit small, and you could fit the 285's s why not! I'll be going bigger next time.
