Right now my truck is stock, i know the 33s wont fit. The 6inch skyjacker will be on its way once i get my income tax cheque, just thought i would go ahead and get them since the price is good and they come with rims.

I know I will have to regear but am not sure what I should to go to. Every one says go with 4.56 with 33s but I only have a 2.3L and I think I would be better off to go with 4.88. What do you guys think?

O and why is the backspacing not ideal?

good stuff. glad to hear youre going about it right. I have 4 56's with my 33's, and i haev a 4.0 litre. Its real good, but if i could do it over again, i would go deeper, probably 4 88's. Considering youve got the 2.3, I personally would go 5 13's. More gearing wont hurt it. Have you got a 7.5 and dana 28? if so...may want to think about upgrading those...

Im located in saskatoon right now, but will be in ottawa for canada day :)

Ya i do have they hybrid and i am currently looking for a cheap explorer so i can swap them out. Kinda hard to find around here tho. I was considering 5.13's but wasnt to sure seeing how this will be my DD.

Also just wondering how is the body roll on your truck without the sway bars, thinking about removing mine.

dont even notice it compared to when i had them. On a TTB truck I personally dont feel as though the sway bars do a whole lot...other than limit travel. Do it.
