In one of your photos it's pretty low in the rear, might be a sloped road or something.

Have you had a chance to go flex it out on something to check for rubbing?

yeah, I trimmed the rear of the inner fender a little, bent the spot weld tab over completely, heated the plastic liner and formed it around trying to make it look somewhat factory...If I am bouncing around with the wheel half turned it will hit the edge of the fender I think, Maybe a little. I wish I had just gone with a 12.50 width tire like a nitto trail grappler, would not be an issue then....

Very nicely done. I wouldn't worry about wear and teat. My truck has 64K on her with about 45K of those lifted. Beat it up more then most and haven't broken a thing. I did recently replace the ball joints and tie rods as maintenance but you would expect that after what I've done with it. Vids in my sig if your curious on what a 6" procomp can take.

Your running about the same set up...Post some pictures of your CV angles...I think that I am not going to install a body lift...Do you rub much, did you trim any sheet metal???

what don't you like about the 4.56? Lately a decent amount have been complaining about 4.88's and 37's, but you do also have the 4.6

The cost of re-gearing for such a minor difference in gear ratio i can't see being worth it.

Thought about getting a custom tune and ditching the super chips?

Are the custom tunes that much better than the super chip? I would re-gear myself so the cost would be around $600...Just debating, may not but can sure tell a loss of power with the 37's....

no comparison. The improvement is night and day IMO. I have never been impressed with friends trucks with super chips over those with a custom tune.

Maybe re-gear yourself and then buy a used sct xcal 2 and 1 custom tune, should be able to get that for under $200 w/ a tune if you buy a used hand held. I would think you could sell your superchips some where around that price point
