2pissed, if you go with RC post pics or drive past my place. I want to see someone else do it first. People on the other forum don't seem to be having any problems. Some of them have some crazy intimidating builds. I'm not that brave. My truck wants to be Shadow Warrior's Build when it grows up.

I have a 3" lift that actually measures close to 4", and the 37" tires make up the rest. I broke my rear axle about a month ago. I didn't even bother trying to get it fixed under warrenty, because I know they would deny it because of the size of the tires. Bigger tires put more stress on drivetrain parts. But my serpentine belt pully started to make nasty noises, so I brought it in for that. After I pushed my way through the crowd of mechanics staring at the truck, The guy at the counter had no problems covering that part under warrenty. So, if you cut the roof off, and install a 15" lift with 42" tires, they cannot refuse your warrenty claim for a seatbelt that malfunctions. Make sense? Anyways, heres my 3" lift with 37" tires parked next to a stock truck...
37 in tires!!! how do you do on gas?

Putting larger tires on a truck doesn't use as much gas as most people think...as long as the axle gears are lowered to match. If you don't change the axle gears, then yes...you use a lot more gas. With lower gears, it will be barely noticeable. The only real difference will be a bit more weight, and wind resistance. No different than carrying around some gear, and adding some lights to your roof.
