so after the new wheels heres a list of whats to come in no particular order.

-AAL in the rear
-Bilstein 5100's
-37x13.50x20 Open countries
-Re-gear
-SCT X4 with MPT tunes
-Iron cross rear bumper
-NFAB steps
-50 inch LED bar roof mount
-flush mount reverse lights.

Ive still got a ways to go with what I want to do but I'm hoping to get a couple things crossed off the list before the end of august.

For those of you that have re-geared, what would you recommend? especially if I shift from 35s to 37s.

So after staring at the "pay now" button on my computer screen for what felt like forever, I finally pulled the trigger. New set of 20x10 XD strikes with a -24 offset are purchased and soon to be heading my way! Once they're in Im going to work on moving my 35s and wrapping my new wheels in some 37 open countries.

NICE!!!!!!! I would say 4.10 or 4.56. Although 4.56 might be a little too steep but some say it will return it to almost stock.

You have 3.73s now right? It shouldn't be bad. I would say if you had 3.55s like me to do it as soon as possible as you would notice it for sure. I know for sure that when I want to eventually throw a spacer in the front and an AAL I will go to probably 4.10s. That will probably be way in the future though. If you like to speed everywhere you would notice with the 3.73s and 37s but since you will be back at school it will be fine. I want 35s so bad! haha.

I plan on doing 4.10 when I regear. I can get factory ford gears, and I do a lot of highway driving, so I don't want to go to steep. Can't wait to see the new wheels man!
