O those are some very nice nuts you got there. (No homo)

A rancho 4in is basically a 5in lift might as well just get a 6in.

Yeah, 5.4s and 4 speed trannies don't like big tires haha. Mine downshifted bad enough with 35s and the 3.55s, so F running 37s on stock gears. Now I want 37s just so my 4.88s don't have my RPMs through the roof lol.

I'd get a Rancho. Best feeling lift IMO to drive. The attached/one-piece subframe is so sturdy.

For someone that likes his shoes so much, you sure change them out a lot But I'm on my 3rd set of wheels in 2 years, so . . .

I wish I had gotten your 962s! Then I would literally be doing a 3" body and 37s this summer, like 100% would be happening cause I'd "need" new tires and I would still have a full tire fund haha. I can't swallow the cost of my Trail Grapps that barely have 2k miles on them. If I could sell them for $1200 or so, which would never happen, I'd think about it. Maybe if I get an internship and pull in $15k this summer lol.

I want to! Especially if we can all crash at your place, I just don't know if I want to drop the several hundred dollars on gas. Hard enough to spend the $140 going to Turkey Drag last weekend and then Full Flex today. Round trip to Biloxi is over 1000 miles too, so that's 77 gallons of gas at an absolute minimum. I imagine it would cost close to $500+ all said and done. I'm basically thinking aloud and trying to justify 37s and Scrapin right now
