    what can go wrong if you don't put in aftermarket uca's on a 3" lift? I like this setup but have a 4x2 that doesn't see offroad much.

    Dont think anything can actually "go wrong". From what I've read, you wont be able to properly align the truck.

    Do you plan to go up to 285s?

    I don't know but your truck looks nice with 265s.. And it doesn't look to small or anything. What do you think?

    I was actually thinking about stepping up to 285's. Im worried about gas prices and loss of MPG. Think Im gonna wait and see.....I dont think it looks too bad with the 265's...
