Default new question :)

dunno if anyone cares, but im going with the Duratracs at 33x12.5xR15. and some pro comp Series 97 soft 8's.

my dream build with 34's and Kevlar MTR's will wait till i buy myself a house and have enough money....

so for now, 33's and a leveling kit will have to do.

next question is! where has everyone gotten their lifts done; how much did you pay; for how big a lift? minus the guys who did it yourself at home. gonna have to mount and balance my tires at the shop and then figure out what to do from there.

Advice; for a leveling kit or a BB, find a friend who can help you. It's very easy to install. seriously. You can do it yourself with some instructions for sure. took me 3 hours for a whole BB with all brackets included. good luck !

my question is, what would everyone else do out there? just curious as to everyone's opinions. maybe my plans will change based on what you guys say. i know the budget is limited, but its all i could convince her of giving me. either this or not get our new pup, and this way, we both get what we want.
2 women at the same time, mmmmmmmm hhhmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

did you have power tools? my current apartment doesn't have enough space, so i'd have to use my dad's house. all he has are hand tools. took me an hour for my bumper, when it shoulda taken half that time, if i had more than hand tools.

either way, few beers, and a nice sunday should be good eh? i should probably lift it, then take it to the shop for the tires yeah?

What would I do? Three girls at the same time man.

I would do....see my sig below. Though all that will cost you more than $1300. Maybe $1700. But hey it'll get you close.

Boats and Hoes.

I am in the situation in that I want to go to 35's on my Rubi and that will have to wait until tax return next year, and cost a bit more than $1300 (lift, wheels, tires, axle strengthening, gears etc...).

My point is figure out what you want independent of price, then just save up for it, $1300 is a good start.
