    I'm sure it does taste good, good news about some of those ingredients, if your tires are goodyears, there is a possibility some of those ingredients were also used when making them. I used to work for a company that made anti-tac material that Goodyear used, and I recognize some of those ingredients from when I worked there.

    I would bet the color is not coming from the gum.

    Unless that's a pic of OP's truck, don't know what your getting at? You think his lift looks like that Total Chaos's truck?

    I may be wrong, maybe OP has a long travel 5 lug.....

    Gotta think your working the rear end and front end components pretty hard. Again not sure of the build on a 5 lug but gotta think it's 5 instead of 6 for some reason. Your lighter but I'm thinking your built lighter also. The frame well I'd think they were the same but who knows. Like it was mentioned the 5 lug forum may yield better answers. Not that your not welcome here just we don't have good info for question.

    I feel like 18" tires would be too small with a 2.75" lift. Did you consider only going 2.5"?

    I think he meant 18" wheels. Look at his profile pic.
