imo, if you couldn't afford to regear, you shouldn't have mounted 38's. your truck is not properly equipped.

We have already talked about the whole gears issue. If you read back you would see how I am handling that.

I have 4.6L and about to do a 6in lift. But regearing first. you have to regear. If you can do them both at the same time. It me be cheaper.
