WTF do I do first?
Install new d35 axle with 4.56 then get a diff and gears for the 8.8 which would eat up most my cash for rims and tires....Im running 205 15's right now:idiot::fie: Im not even sure it would be possible/good on the truck with that size of tire
or
install my lift (6") get 33's which would really suck with 3.73 gears and do the axles down the road.:dntknw:
 
:iamwithstupid:
cmon which way would be the most driveable of the two? Or should I just wait and drown in a pool of my own misery only to be saved when I have the cash to finally make this a trail ready rig?
 
keep saveing and wheel it like it is till you have the cash for gears,tires,wheels etc

lift the front,put 33's and gears in it.then run the back stock. your over all gear ratios would be close and you could use 4x4 until you regear the back and get two more 33's!:icon_thumby::idiot:

that would make for one sweet lookin ride.;missingteeth;
 
reverse tractor look,like in your avatar but with tires instead of a snowbank under there.let me know if you need any more ideas.;missingteeth;

it would be easier to load/unload it though.:woot:

personally i'de lift it and smoke the clutch while waiting for gears.
 
31's and 3.73's with a 4.0 suck, fire roads in 4 high , anything else in low. Just for sh*ts and giggles take out you front driveshaft and go wheeling!! It is fun.

I don't know man I got the same with a 2.8 and a manual... I can still go, not uber fast but thats not what its for.

or better yet take out the rear shaft and keep the hubs in. FWD baby.:D
