    Nothing inparticular. Id like a little lower 4low. And I may jump to 37 one day, so the 4:88s will be great for that.

    Don't you loose up travel with 37 and even 35 with the all pro kit?

    Right now yes, but I do plan on tubbing the front. The tire upgrade would be most importantly for the slightly better ground clearance. I have high center problems.

    With 37 you would have huge foot print for the snow. You have high center gravity even when air down?

    So chnge fluid after 1000? That's a waste of synthetic oil :(. However I may be able to get away with non synthetic for the break in period.

    I looked up on Detroit lockers and they advise not to use synthetic oil so be sure you read up before you start using it.
