Nice Tires. BIG picture. Resize out of courtesy for the dial-ups? (took me a while, and I'm on CABLE)

[rhetor22]

I know i put a warning in the topic.

I'll try and resize it but i don't have anything to do that with... I'll se what i can do though. This is probably a good time to find a nice photo editing program.

I like my tires too

Ford,

[rhetor22]

grrrr

[rhetor22]

there we go.. its much smaller now.

How about something that we don't have to scroll a window for? I mean I have a 19" and I have to scroll the thing... Giant or no, it's still too big to fit on a screen.

Nice truck! And there is nothing wrong with Ford trucks! They are the best selling pickup truck in the world, and for good reason!

[rhetor22]

I'm getting a 6" suspension lift and a 3" body lift.

Lifted trucks save lives.

Its gunna be sooo nice... not that it isn't already


please keep any "GMC is better than Ford" comments out of here. If you are talking smack about Ford i will have to lay a huge butt whooping down on you.

I love it. My dad just took my truck('64 Chevy C10)and gave me his Jeep, I guess he liked it :0. I don't pay for it anymore, but insurance on the Jeep is expensive. Anywho, very nice truck. What size tires are you putting on it? 39s? 41s? A 6" lift is huge. Have fun. Take me in it sometime.

[rhetor22]

hehe, python if you can get a ride up to CT, then i will gladly drive you around!

Actually i just got those brand new 31s so i'm keeping those. I may end up with just a 4 inch lift.

I found 4 inch blocks (2 inch raise) on ebay for about $25. It comes with the cast iron blocks, u-bolts, and nuts and washers. Shipping will probably cost more than the blocks themselves!

Then i'll get new coils and either drop brackets or new radius arms for the front, then a BIG alignment

So i'll probably lift the front end 4 inches, and maybe a body lift. I think i'll stick with the 4" tho.

After that i have to make a mounting bracket for my 4 air horns, then get a billet grille... Then i have to weld up a pusher bar and put some lights on it. Damn. I love my truck a little too much

my only prob is that the straight six can haul anything in low end, but once you get into 4th and 5th on the highway... boyy is it slow to accelerate. I think i'm going to buy an electric fan (probably need two) and get rid of the clutch fan. That'll give me a lot more power and much better gas mileage (maybe 2 or even more mpg)

Ok this post is long enough.

Yea, thats what we did to my jeep a year ago. We installed a little electric fan. We also have a deep charge battery that powers the Water pump. It increases milage by 3 mpg, added a few HP, and gave us some more torque. Pretty good for a little 4 litre 6 inline

[rhetor22]

The fans are just so expensive for what they are. I mean they give you a lot, but they are pricey.

I think its something like 70% of an engines power is robbed before it makes it to the wheels.

poor engines, they work so hard too.
