You plan on going bigger with your tires? If not you might wanna look closer at 4.88s. I have 5.13s and i was a little overgeared. Either way get a tuner. And match the throttle response also. Huge difference in power and torque. I ran 37s for almost a yr. And still had plenty of power. The mileage on the hwy was around 19.5 if i stayed around 60

Spent yesterday afternoon helping Chase to install his new Poison Spider stubby bumper. It's a very minimalist bumper, but the work involved is a lot--more than any other bumper install I've ever done. In order to get maximum approach angle, they have you cut off the stock crash bar, as well as about two inches off the front of each frame rail. You then need to drill some new holes to accommodate the new bumper (because you've now cut off the plates for the two frame rails that held the stock bumper). Lots of work with a great pay-off!

Thanks to Rick and Manoj, who arrived from a run at nearby 59th Street and pitched in to help us get the job done!

Wish I could have stopped by but had to get back to the house. I really like that bumper.

That looks sweet. I was going to do a stubby that required about ten inches off the rails. It gave you almost a 85° approach angle . And the winch mounted under the radiator between the rails. Very much like the switchblade version if their front stubby
