    I am considering selling it due to it just sitting in the garage and hardly being driven. I am getting a little older now with different interests. I am thinking of selling and investing in some acreage.

    not yet...but will be asap.

    You can feel it needs it..but its not much worse than rolling on stock gears and 35's.

    Thanks yall.

    I take pride in my vehicles. All work is done by myself and a friend here and there. Built the car myself (motor and all...trans swap, etc)

    Truck did all the installs myself with help from friends etc also.

    I prefer to do my own stuff.

    Looks good but a few things to consider if you have not thought of them:

    1. Higher purchase cost for wheel and tire
    2. More difficult to balance and maintain balance on tires
    3. More likely to rub against body parts (fender, pinch seams, etc...)
    4. Louder on hard surfaces (more dependant on tread type)
    5. Raises height center of gravity of vehicle (taller)
    6. Increases wear on steering components
    7. Changes vehicle vibration and ride
    8. Changing tire requires ability to lift/handle more weight
    9. More debris thrown up on side/under vehicle (rocks, mud)
    10. Changes drivetrain effective final drive ratio, which affects torque, speedo
    11. Increasing vehicle height normally decreases fuel economy
    12. Increased braking distances
    13. May need aftermarket jack to change
    14. More difficult to find matching replacement sizes at a typical tire shop in the case of a wrecked tire because not every tire place carries bigger tires

    with 37's that ruck needs gears bad, and the little bit of rubbing you do have now while on road will turn into you ripping fender flares completely off if you take it off road.

    btw whats the back space on those wheels?

    back space is 4.5

    Thats why it will be lifted even more before too long...just looking into more options with suspension before even thinking about body.

    Fender flares were trimmed last night along with other things.
