    Um yeah, you're totally gay, now, bro.... :p

    My truck can go up enyyything yours can. :rolleyes: :der: lol yeah right

    Wanna trade trucks? :D:eek:
    Heck yeah you can...... Just keep the weight low! Aluminum wheels are great and light tires (like KM2s or Kevlars) are desirable. Definately easier to run 37s or 36s on a 2nd gen than a 1st gen..
    :laugh:

    What do you tires and wheels weigh together? Kind of hard to stay light since 37's are heavy no matter what way you look at it. Too bad nobody makes a 37x10, would help eliminate some frame rubbing and weight. Talk about a pizza cutter look though. Your 37x12.50's look skinny. haha

    That would be insanely skinny!! :eek: lol I have yet too weigh them, but my old steelies and 35s were at 100lbs each. I'm hoping my alloys and 37s will be about the same if not only slightly heavier.....

    And while close, not every 37 weights the same at the lower end, you're looking at about 70 lbs... (BFGs, Kevlars....) it gets heavier when you go to the hardcore stuff like pitbull rockers and TSLs......

    5.29. I was geared a bit low at 5.29s with the 35s. 37s brings the ratio pretty much back to stock...

    ^^ i can vouch for it being near stock. he lined up next to me at a red light the other day, he floored it and it was surprising how it got up and went. obviously not as fast as a street racer but definitley not what i was expecting from 37's
