I know the 32's sound like a great deal. I too got a great deal on my 32's. I wish someone had told me what i'm telling you... i would go a couple of inches smaller. I thought my 32's would be so cool, and now a couple of grand later i have tires that finaly won't rub and fiberglass fenders to fit. And a hacked up bumper. Especially if you don't offroad that much... stick with a 30" or 31" if you want to be adventurous. I have a 2.4 L... not much smaller than your engine, and the only way i can do 90 in my truck is downhill pedel to the floor and the hands of god pushing. highway is 60's ... and hills...well i'm doing 50 sometimes 40MPH. Gas milage!? HA! I have wider exhaust, i have a cold air intake, and still i haven't gotten all my power back. I have damned good traction on mud and I can drive through almost anything muddy offroad with my "skiis" as i call them... But if this is just to drive on road and you don't want to "big" lift... get yourself 30's and don't worry about the hassle. A couple hundred dollars now can save you a couple of grand later on down the road. I sent some photos the moderator with only a 6" lift and you will see what i'm talking about. Good luck... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Have you recalculated for larger than stock tires for your speedo? You may be going faster than you think!
