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 know they make them for a 37" tire, i just want to run 38's because they are usually wider than 37s
