    I was thinking 35-37 for mine when I am done. I dont want anything crazy but I want it to wheel better. Id also like to keep some of the bed function.

    Why not run 35" tires now? Keeping the bed is pretty easy too.

    Well since I am doing the SAC I dont see why not. I am going to have to cut and smash everything eventually anyway. Yeah I need the bed since 90% of my wheeling is to remote camp sites and my RTT will be on my bedrack soon.

    ^^^This I like.

    Life's hell all across the board for alot of people right now, but it's how you deal with life's trial and tribulations that define/refine who you are as a person.

    not trying to side track nor one up but my wife of three years took off two months ago with our three month old daughter. Kissed me off to wok in the morning, told me she loved me and was gone when i got home. Has been staying almost 3hrs away and almost completely refusing to let me see my baby girl.

    Just got her in court and they are making her move back but it is costing me everything basically just so she has no excuses not to come back. As of next week i will be moving out of my own house and away from my truck indefinitely until this all gets sorted out.

    My life is in shambles but i know God has a greater plan for things to come. I just try to stay posotive right now.

    Keep your heads up gentleman. I just dodged a bullet myself yesterday with my girlfriend. Had an outstanding 4 day in Lake Havasu then yesterday morning she comes at me with allegations of living a double life. The argument I put up was "I can't afford to. Every penny I have is going towards the solid axle swap project". It was at that point it made sense to her ;)

    Back on track, with the tight budget I'm fixing to replace the radiator with a 3 core CSF radiator and flush the whole system. After that gonna be prepping the axle for paint, repair, and a mock up. I've decided to go all TG for the swap so I'm about $700 bucks away from pulling the trigger...until christmas rapes me right in my wallet.
