    My poor build thread...

    I want to give a huge thank you to @3378jakesr5 & @WJeeper for helping get the rear done tonight! It was a pain in the ass and the rain/hail didn't help, but the rig is rolling down the road again. :bananadance:

    Also thank you to @thefatkid for doing the regear!

    Lastly, mail call:

    Never would have guessed the fetal position would be so effective at removing a bolt @WJeeper

    4.88s which brought it back to close to stock. They definitely helped just not as much as I was hoping.

    My 4.88s are a little over corrected with my 255s. What size tires are you running?

    A 4cylinder in the mountains might not ever feel great, time for a turbo!

    255s I came from 4.30s though.

    Haha yes a turbo would be nice. That or SC is on the list. Not sure which one I'd go with yet and it's a long way until I'll have the cash for that. I think my biggest issue is the lack of air at 8000ft. Even with 4.30s I could use 5th when I get down to 6000ft.

    Ah, I didn't even notice you were 4 cyl when I asked. Like Brian said, SC time.

    I'm extremely over geared right now with 5.29s. Honestly I don't mind it at all with 33s, though. Looking forward to the feel of it with larger tires soon.

    @thefatkid think you will ever go up in tire size? (285s or 295s)

    Depends on more narrow offerings. This truck likes 16s so I'm kinda limited.
