Okay, what if I go a bit smaller and get a 6" rough country? What do I do about the leveling if I just stay with one thing? Also.... Regearing???

Keep in mind most wrecked or damaged vehicles with come with a Salvage title. I've purchased a couple salvage title cars myself to save money and still have a nice vehicle. the only problems I run into is resale isn't good and they're hard to sell. So if you do buy one I would make sure you're keeping it for awhile. One of the salvaged vehicles I bought was a 2004 Monte Carlo LS with 74,000 miles for $4,000 dollars. Clean titled ones were selling for $9,000 at the time with the same or more miles. Anyway it had no frame damage and all I needed to replace was the front bumper, a headlight and the airbag unit. So orughly had $5,000 in the car. I ended up selling it for $6,500 but it took me many months to get rid of it due to the title. So I guess what I'm saying is the right salvaged car/truck is worth it if you plan on keeping it awhile.
