    It's doable but your truck will want to kill itself.

    I drove my 1st gen V6 with 3.90 gears and 35s for a little bit on the street. It wasn't fun but it was manageable.

    I think you'd be fine. I drove my 82 around with 4.11 and 37's a little and that's with a 200k mile 22r. My buddy runs 42's and 4.10's on a 3.0 and he was pulling grades in high range in TN where I had to gear down

    You should put the old fenders back on, IMO. Already clearanced and the contours are aesthetically better than the 5-lug fender.

    Ill probably end up doing the same thing because it'll be two separate fuel cells with a total of 30 gallons. Thats a project for when i link the rear of the truck. Bed's coming off some time in the spring. I would do it sooner but im building a double place fifth wheel trailer on 35's because i picked up another taco for the GF.

    Damn that's a lot of gas and a lot of weight. Any reason in particular you're going that big? I wish mine was smaller
