Swan when you had your 4cyl with the lower gears did you still feel under powered? im currently still running stock gears with the calmini 3 inch lift and 33 inch tires and still feels under powered. would the lower gears help? i just got a rebuilt engine and trans put in and didnt feel a big change.

what gears do you have? 4.3s or 4.6s? I had 4.6s with 32s and it did ok IMO, these trucks wont win any 1/4 mile races but they will get you there. the 5.13s I have now bring me back to stock (or close to) when I had the 4 cyl. they might be too low now that the 5.3 is going it but we will see. so nothing too spectacular. I should have taken pics in the sun. maybe tomorrow. rough sanded the doors and taped up the truck except for the windshield area. body lines match up nice and I'm hoping to see some paint next week.

i have the 4.6s in mine currently but im thinking about doing something crazy and doing the diamond axle swap....only thing that is scarying me is that total price. im on a military income lol. but to have the truck sitting on 35-37s with solid axles would be nice but as much as i like that 4cyl i dont know if it will do the work no matter what gears.

look'n good, one question though, why did you decide to wrap the exhaust?

I wrapped the exhaust hopping it would keep temps down under the truck while wheeling. don't know if its worth it or not but the cost to do it is pretty cheap so. I'm hoping to have the wiring for the engine done this weekend so I can put the cab back on and finish the rest of the wiring there. I know I'm close but it feels so far away.
