    such a clean truck, my intentions are the same as yours, but do u think having 33's will play a role with my 2.7?

    Thanks man.

    Regarding power, not too sure with the 2.7 as I don't have any experience with it. It is not until I reach the steeper hills or am towing that I really start to notice the difference with the V6.

    From the info that I've read from folks who run 33's with the 2.7, it is basically the samething as what the people who run them on the v6 state and that is what I kind of explained above.

    I would try them out and if you don't like the power loss, then I would either go down to a 32 or re-gear.

    Bought something shiny and red to accompany my RED truck in the garage. :D

    It is going to a very tough 2-3 week wait for it to come in.

    Mine doesn't look anywhere near level - the front was measured at just over 3" lift..Total tool box weight = approx 200lbs.

    Your truck looks great man! Personally I wouldn't mess with the stance at all. I like a bit of rake, it is my preferred stance on a pickup. It gives you some leeway when you load the bed. If the truck is completely 100% level, then anytime you ever put any kind of decent load in it, guess what, it's going to squat and be nose high.

    Lol, not yet!

    They just gave me a delivery time frame yesterday of being either 10/2 or 10/3. :(

    You can definitely count on photos though! Luckily being consumed with both school and work help sidetrack my mind off the wait a bit, lol.

    LOL that pic is on my old leaf pack setup. Its different now. My frame sits about .5-1'' above my tires..And the parking spaces in there are up hill making it look level. Ill take some shots of it on flat concert for you in my build thread this weekend.
