You know you need glasses when you scroll past a picture fast and scroll up to check out a chick you saw in the background only to discover its a mail box.

Even with 3.31 gears my 2v tows my 5000+ tractor without breaking a sweat. Hauled my grandfather's S-10 to the shop to put a brake line on it, aside from some traction issues starting up a steep gravel hill after a stop sign I wouldn't have known it was back there.

I would put it up against any stock 351W in a similarly equiped truck, torque is the name of the game, something having the most stroke of any Ford light duty truck V-8 greatly helps. I will leave the 302's for my brother's 4.6 to tear apart, they ain't worth my time. I have driven both, neither impressed me in a half ton truck... hence why I didn't get one. They were great motors in their time, but the powerplants that replaced them are doing a right fine job of making them obsolete.
I completely agree. Tows my jeep with no problem. Its an all steel body, probley around 4500 pounds.

All I have is a leveling kit, I didn't do any trimming. I think as long as you don't go any wider than 12.5" and keep the stock wheel offset you should be okay with 35's.

I have 3.73's. Its not too bad. I do have the Superchips tuner as well, I didn't notice a huge improvement with it, but I bought it mostly just to adjust for the tire size.
Ok- ya, i can see a 35" fitting with a leveling kit with stock wheels... Any idea what the backspacing is on stock?

As for a tuner, I run an Xcal2 from BamaChips.

How does the Xcal2 work for you? Notice any difference?
