I would only do nitrous if I had a lowered truck, but i like to sit up high and watch people move out of my way. I?m a fairley small guy but im pretty itiminating when i come up behind cars and most trucks (i love that fealing) Front air dam is around 25" off the ground compared to stock at about 11" Roof if about 7? high very nice but cant get in most parking garages.
Truck is actually only 2wd I know everyones thinking why the hell would you lift a 2wd that high. At the time i really didn?t want a
4wd, I?m big into 4wheeling with a jeep ive built and knew if my truck was 4wd it would receive plenty of body damage cause i would not be able to resist taking it on a trail to see it capabilities. So thats why i got a 2wd. But the 2wd was to low so i put in a 6" suspension lift with 33?s then i went and added a 3" body lift and
37?s.
Does any one know how this truck is to switch out rear gears? I?ve done it before but with a locked Dana 44 in a jeep. Or is it different with newer rear ends? This truck does have the stock locker in the rear end
