I have poor man lockout hubs, I pulled my frt ds for dd. Put it back in on the weekend, only takes 15mins. I know it's not exactly the same as a free wheeling hub, but the ds drag is outta the pic and I get about 1-1.5 mpg better.

I'm running 3" and 37's. Its tight, but works very nice with trimming..

My point is, if you keep the 3.5" you wont have to trim as much
Not to digress, but can you elaborate on the "trimming"you had to do. I have 37's on the way and want to know what I am looking at having to trim(I have a 3" lift, 1" body lift).

Thanks fo rany advise

I plan on trimming about 2" of or the rear pinch seem. I have stock wheels and Teraflex 1.25" spacers, which if I do the math correctly then I have a 4.75 backspacing. Do you think that I will rub on the frame, fenders, sway bar, ect?
