    getting on the freeway has been annoying lately. Not necessarily because the 35s but more so i step on it, and it goes nowhere..then it screams at me while kinda accelerating.

    Auto's just suck with big tires. The stupid F150 with 3.55's and 31's (which is bigger than stock) sucks

    Interesting, didn't realize there was a difference in gearing between V8 and V6 with the 4 speed tranny, mine was 3.91.

    Dang didn't realize your gearing was so high. My Tundra is VVTI, 5 speed and 4.10's, so while I feel the 34's, it picks up and goes easily.

    You guys think that with the 3" Icon Overland Springs in back, I'll be good with OEM replacement Kings? I know they are technically for 2" but the weight of the rear bumper sags the springs a bit.

    For my setup, I've found the OME 2898s plus 1.5" spring spacers provided the right amount of weight capacity plus physical lift. Something worth considering.

    Thanks! I love the springs I have actually. I'm swapping the shocks though! Just want to be sure they will be compatible.

    Wouldn't even think of driving a manual in SF. People get right up on your ass at the lights. Even on the steep hills.

    Ha...couple months ago I saw an old guy in a newer Porsche something or other. He came down from flatland Oregon. Absolutely no one was giving him space, quite the opposite really, they would just go around him. Back off a couple inches? Nah, I wanna be first.

    It's a drag of a class. 100 level, didn't have anywhere else to fit it in my schedule. So I'm here for 4 hours a night, two nights a week

    We just took a test. Everyone's done, time to have lecture. Then 10 minute break and off to lab for a test. Just a drag, two more weeks
