you and me both... i had some costom rims made 16.5x16 and a 1/4" wheel spacer backed my lug nuts off. so i just sold them and got the 52's, there just temporary im going with 54 boggers on 20x18 rims
gears 5.38's on dana 60's locked front and rear with the itty bitty 4.6... but she still made me proud when i would white smoke em.
so with that being said i cant wait to see what 6.72's will do in the rockwells. i might even swaping a motor out at the same time, if not it will be very soon after i get the next suspensions set up
looks like ill be changing the motor before i get the 54's and custom rims though

4six is a good motor as you know...just underpowered imo. mines got a 4six in it too. I'm about to go to 35's, then down the road regearing to 4.88's. But that not even on your level man. YOur tires are like 20"s bigger than 35's. lol
What motor you thinking about swapping in? Are you thinkin diesel? If so, please say cummins!!!

Appreciate it
I upgraded because I changed my tire/wheel size....I went 4.56, probably could have gone 4.88, very happy with the set though.
