Re: So you wanna lift your truck...
I just put Dick cepek mud countries on my 05 f250. Road noise is very minimal for a full on mud terrain. They are available in some good wide sizes right not too on NTW, for super cheap. Only chose these over the claw because they arent as common, and I heard Mtz's wander really bad.

Re: So you wanna lift your truck...
Looking at 3.5 RE suspension lift for my TJ with some 33 inch mud terrains. Plan on mild/medium duty trail riding and driving on the beach in OBX.
Later down the road
Skid plates and a tummy tuck
Bumpers and winch
gears and lockers
How it sits now. Only had it a month so stuff should start happening soon.

RE 3.5 Superflex
Upgraded to adjustable LCA all the way around
Adjustable track bars front and rear
Quick Disconnects
Cragar Soft 8s with 33x12.5 BFG KM2s
Also removed the milk jugs front and rear, the side steps, and the rear tire carrier (I do have a 5th KM2 mounted on a soft 8 but do not want to risk sagging my tailgate).
Next mod will be a custom rear bumper with swing out tire carrier.

Re: So you wanna lift your truck...
Looking at getting 31" M/T's to replace the old A/T's. Currently she sits at 3.5", planning on 5.5" and longarms in the front.
Factory 4.0L with a bored throttle body and conical air filter, JET Stage 1, 195deg. thermostat. Front axle D30 with Powertrax, ChryCo 8.25 rear axle with Auburn Gear LSD.
Rarely get stuck, on occasion get high centered.

I'm leaning towards the Cepek mud tires in a 13.5" width as hopefully narrowing the track by 1.5" will save me some mileage and cut down a bit on throwing rocks on the road.

Re: So you wanna lift your truck...
I think I need like a 37" tire minimum to fill out the lift. My 38.5" bogger actual height (on the truck) is right around 37.5", so I figure a 37" would compress a bit too.

I've got nothing bad to say about the TSLs except for that my truck is so damn light I have to ride @ 10psi on the street to keep the centers from wearing prematurely.

Re: So you wanna lift your truck...
I'm gettin an 98 ext cab 4.3 4wd to daily and beat around on here in a bit... Anyone got any lift suggestions for me? And what about wheels and tires? You'll have to excuse my noobness b/c I'm used to slammin/baggin trucks... This truck is being handed to me so why not do somethin right?
Not sure right off hand about the s10 lift kits. This might help as well
