Thanks so much BMan. I was hoping you would swing by.
Totally understand the tradeoff here. Even with factory 3.73s, we are good. The six speed has a really deep first, and it downshifts on the highway anyway. I also have a not so secret plan to drop in a supercharger this winter which should alleviate any power concerns.
The big issue, even with a little lift, is tire clearance. The wheelwells are so narrow. I am going with a Buckstop bumper to fix the front well clearance. The rear of the wheelwell may need some trimming.
Back tires are fine for clearance. I really want to go with 285/65-18s. Which is 32.5.
Will post pics when I am more done. Right now it's just a lifted whale on little tires.
Stay tuned....
