    not trying to spend crazy money but its more of whats more practical for me. from the look of this thread you guys are out wheeling all the time, ill be commuting mostly with the occasional off road drive every once in a while. im thinking 2-3 inches of lift and a 33inch tire. not trying to do a spacer lift or anything cheap. i want to purchase the right lift the first time and have a nice riding truck that also looks good and is capable of doing better off road when needed. so moneys not really a problem but again im not going to buy a 2500$ lift kit.

    Gotta agree haha. I will say though that with maxtrax a prerunner can do work...about 5 feet at a time haha. Put a little dirt on the ice and then lay the maxtrac on that...grip for days.

    Got me up this hill fairly quick.

    That's only about half of the climb too. It get steeper. The drift to my left dropped me to my hip when I went chasing after the pup :laugh:

    Here's a pic when we were headed back home.

    The dodge reg cabs are nice but it doesn't feel like you are even the one driving. Just to smooth of a ride. Even when you floor it...just doesn't make me smile.

    ^Truth.

    and agree with the gas. My parents are always averaging less than me. Pretty sad when I am on 35's with a giant box on the back catching wind and I am still getting better mpg.

    If I bought a ford I would just leave it on the lot. Then once a month push it in the maintenance bay and wait for my wallet to get raped.

    I had one before this truck, total garbage. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING broke on that POS.

    Never again will I buy a vehicle that the engineers didn't even manage to keep the spark plugs in the heads :rolleyes:
