also waiting for me in the basement are oem style flares. the STX doesnt come with holes in the fenders to install pocket flares so i bough these..but im sure ill change to pocket flares eventually. i was afraid my truck wouldnt look big enough for them.

Also have 3 inch cube leds i want to fit somewhere and i have led toggle switches i have yet to wire up. its freezing here.

future plans include led flood cubes that sit flush in the rear bumper for reverse lights.

It looks like a monster with those 37's. how much did you end up lifting the rear with the AAL's?

I got 1.5 inches with the AAL but i think the new springs that replaced the sagged original ones maybe helped a bit too

need to order some new rear shocks this month

I would wait to see if the springs settle at all before getting new shocks.

What gears ado you have 3.55's?

I'd be interested to know how much of a difference you've seen going from 33's to 35's to 37's as far as power and economy.

ya 3.55's. stock tires to 33s, no difference. not that i could feel. 35s i felt a little loss in power. A few weeks before the 37s and i got the edge programmer and put in the tire size and such and i felt some power back. 35s to 37s there is a loss of power. To some it might be a lot, but im used to driving my jeep on 35s with 4:10s and stock axles and it's a 2.5L so im not used to speed or power so the truck doesn't bother me. it still has lots of power, but it can feel sluggish at times. I keep the programmer on level 2 and i gained some back.
