The rancho kit would be your best bet. The tough country is a little less complete.

Thats what I've heard about the Tuff Country. Thanks, any input as far as tire size goes? Keep more power with 35's but love the look of 37's on these trucks... Can't decide.

Looks=37 Performance=35.

A good 35 tire will get you anywhere a 37 will go. They will be less expensive and will not stress the stock components as much as the 37s.

37's are gonna put a lot of wear and tear on your drivetrain. 35's would be perfect.

As far as cranking the bars and damage; it doesn't cause any. There is nothing wrong with cranking the bars as long as you get an alignment after. Yes, it increases the angle of the cv's a bit; but nothing THAT bad.

Yes, the tbars will alter the ride of your truck a bit; after cranking the tbars, your truck will feel less like a cadillac car, and a little closer to a cadillac truck.

haha thanks man. appreciate the helpful advice.
but, since I am lifting it sometime this year, I'm just gonna wait and leave it like it is for now. The rake doesn't bother me and it won't be much longer.
And yea, I've been leaning towards 35's for that reason.

ya if your gonna lift it screw the tbars. Truthfully, the rake really does hurt you offroad. But if your lifting it like asap I wouldn't mess with it. A GOOD set of 35's will take you ANYWHERE you want to go on these trucks (driver permitting)
