    So back to the conversation at hand: BOOBIES!

    ..Great big bouncy ones are fun and I certainly recommend having a few flings when you're young that involve some whoppers but when it comes to long-term you really have to plan for the future. Remember that as each decade brings your balls closer to your shoes the same process is at work on your favorite funbags. You've been warned!

    I would have bought one in a second. DCSB 4x4 manual 2.7L would be awesome. Especially with the SR package.

    I'm happy with my slow truck.

    Is there a link with 4 cyl DCSB builds?

    I'm trying to see one on 884s and Dakars in the rear.

    I love mine. Best most reliable vehicle I have had. Not a day goes by I dont pat her on the dash and tell her I love her. Shes loaded fat and is slow right now, but she keeps on chugging.

    Go 885`s. I have them in my access and now that they have settled the front almost doesnt look lifted. I have been carrying a lot of weight 24/7 for the last three months now though. I had the add a leaf put in the dakars too because the back was pretty saggy with the weight cnstantly there, but it didnt kill the springs. The add a leaf brought it right back and has been keeping her up for more than 5k.

    I'm only wanting about 2.5 inches up front. I should be hitting that with 884s or slightly less, but I think an 885 would be too tall of a coil for my configuration.

    I barely have 2.5 now with the weight I hve had in the front. I have to beleive the extra weight I hve is the same or less than a double cab over my access. I do have a 1/4" skid under the front with 3/16" skids under the the trans and tranny though. And I welded about 50lbs of steel to the top of the ifs skid to help suck the front down until I did the ecgs bushing becuse the neddle bearing made a lot of noise.

    If you carry weight and do some froading I think the 885`s would serve you better.

    As she sits right now I have maybe an inch to an inch and a half over a stock truck, both of us with 32`s. Thats also with 20k roughly, but it has changed much in the last 10k

    Interesting. I don't off-road at all (4x2) and have no sliders or anything else adding weight. Besides lift and tires I'm stock.

    Might be good with 884`s then. Worst that happens is you decides they arent enough and sell them on here then get yourself something else. There are things much less fun than working on the truck.

    It's alright. The mpg isn't as good as I was expecting. Until recently I would get 18-19 mpg w/premium gas. I now have 30k miles on it and get a little over 20 w/regular unleaded. I have no clue why I get better mpg with lower octane fuel. Mine goes pretty good down the freeway. It's pretty easy to do 80 mph with stock gears and 32s, and at 4500 rpm in 3rd gear it'll do somewhere around 70-75 mph up steep hills. The next mod I'm thinking of doing is an LCE header.
