yeah man just ignore it, not a big deal this isnt a jobsite or something..

either regear or add a programmer, choose which one best suites your budget.. regearing would be easier and not so much money for u, being a 2wd so Id regear if planning on keeping that size tire regardless.

Your little "posting mistake" is not nearly as bad as the guys who do a search and then did up a 10 year old thread.

Good for you. Would you like a cookie?

I guess academics are not a priority. You'll go to college on a sports scholarship. As others have pointed out, you can't spell. Your grammar isn't good either. Let's hope that your high school has a good shop program so that you can learn a trade and earn a living when The UFC doesn't work out.

Just messing with you.

The biggest impact will be gears. They will put the power back to your wheels.

Now, the next consideration is making more power. You have plenty of options with bolt-on mods. Intake, pulley, exhaust, electric fan kit, supercharger, nitrous, et cetera. Plenty of good forum discussions about adding power. You will need a custom tune to tie it all together. Read up on programmers.

And by the way, how did you re-program your speedometer? Are you getting speeding tickets and wondering why, when you were only going 65?

While we're looking at bolt-on mods, let's also think about delivering that power and stopping. No doubt about it, your transmission is working harder with those big wheels and tires. Consider adding on cooling equipment like a trans-cooler with a fan and a deeper pan. Another good thing to look into is aftermarket brake kits. Your OEM brakes were engineered for OEM specs. Not everyone will agree. But I think it's important that you can stop when you need to.

I was bout to get pissed off at first :P
and yes, I am wanting a football scholarship, I already got offers and im a sophmore


thankfully my dad is a florida highway patrol officer and he is going to clock me so I know how fast I am going and adjust from there, etc

Once I get money for christmas and working I will be able to afford stuff to really help my truck out, thankfully it was taken care of so well from my grandfather who sold it to me and he replaced everything that needed to be replaced when he sold it to me

Every kid on here gets messed with a little bit. Some get messed with a lot. Just ask Raptor. Whatever you do, don't make a video of your PA installation.

Plan ahead. Get a fist full of single $1 bills a day in advance. Plan on dropping it off in the morning, spending the day at a strip club with a good lunch buffet, then coming back for it later It won't be quick like an oil change. Ask around first. Find out what their experience is in doing gears. Do they do these things often enough that they have their own install kits, bearings, and shims? In some places, there are shops that only do driveline work. If you are re-gearing, have the shop install a Mag-Hytec cover instead of putting the OEM cover back on. Much easier to clean the metal shavings off the magnetic dipstick, and to change your fluids after break-in. And with your new gears, think about what kind of gear oil you'll want. If you have the limited slip differential, then you'll also need friction modifier. I would suggest a synthetic that already has the friction modifier added.
