    I have 106,000 on it and keep it in the garage so no punks will steal the catalytic converter. It's a little easier to get to it since I lifted it 2".

    Rancho 9000 Quicklift up front and Wheeler's progressive add a leaf in the rear with the longer Rancho 5000 shocks and extended brake lines. I'm sure it will settle a little, the lift has only been in only a couple of months or so. I like it I didn't want to go too crazy on the height. I want to put 32 11.50 15 on when these 31's wear out.

    I didn't want to go over 2" because I didn't want to have to deal with cv boot angles and drop spacers. Just a small lift to put a little bigger tire on it in the future. I have no vibration problems and rides really good.

    Other than the dealer, you could repaint yours silver. They are kind of pricey from the dealer.

    I don't think you need 50 posts to go to want to buy from someone. They paint easily and someone is bound to have an extra they might even give away.

    Actually the wheels are easy enough to paint. If you shoot 2 stage clear over them it'll be tough enough to last the heat. 1 can should do it.
