Hey Bob thanks for all the information cause my learning curve is still pretty steep. I really hate to admit this here, and hopefully one day this thing will mainly be an offroader, but for now it's my DD and I'm lifting mostly for aesthetics. Been looking at pictures to see what size lift I should be aiming for and 2" w/ 30s or 31x10.50s seems about right. Hopefully 2" will be enough to accomodate 31s, she won't be doing too much off roading for now, at least nothing too rocky.

Real glad ya got me thinking about differential gear ratio w/ this new size tire. I've been wondering about how larger tires are gonna effect the actual drivetrain, and what I need to do about it. Prob need to get my speedo recalibrated after its all done too. if i'm just on the road would i be risking anything by leaving the stock differential gear on there a while?
