    I would go 37s but would definitely re gear . But I'm good with the 35s myself idk it's kinda a trade off for the tire space if you do want to off road ever.

    Mainly pavement. Mom just got a house in the mountains so offroad capability is also important... as I said my gut is saying buy ( ) or (

    295/70 rubbers made a huge difference in my rig. Just feel like I want more.... Convince me that I should just do the unseen upgrade for a kick ass mid travel setup

    Those are nice set ups but man some money in that. That's almost as much as my lift wheels and tires. But myself and some friends did my lift in a pole barn.

    I say go for those myself my truck is definitely not a daily driver I drive it like 10 times a month. Maybe less. Even at my age 36 I would not want to get in and out of it all day every day. But it is alot of fun to drive.

    Btw I like the way it looks now. You wouldn't have any issues off road I wouldn't think unless you are hitting some rough trails. Are you wanting bigger tires or ?

    Just threw on 295/70 nitro trial grapplers. Came from 275/65 wrangler road tires. Made a huge difference. Actually added some height upgrading my rubbers, that what spawned my thinking of wanting a big lift.

    From this thread. I need to take a step back and enjoy for now... save for a spring upgrade to a mid travel.

    I appreciate everyone talking this out. It helped alot!

    Tell her it will ride better and cheaper in the long run. It’s only 200 more bucks... I think

    No joint account for me no way. I learned that along time ago. We save together a % of each check but that's it. All the rest is mine haha

    I have a total of around 3500 in my lift wheels and tires. So I guess mine was not a total lie lol. But that was because I won my lift on ebay for 800 dollars at 2 am in the morning. haha then installed it with friends.

    That's funny. My wife she really knows how much I spend but she enjoys our truck also. But doesn't drive it much because of road rage sh found her self doing over 100mph one day following a bmw way to close after he cut her off. I told her she could have killed him if he needed to stop for any reason. She said well I better not drive it anymore. Lol. O hey keep that 18. That's my opinion. You can pull a nice camper with no problem.
