But you get to see what a truck is made of with towing. Nothing better then hauling 9tons and sacking people on hills. My truck wasn't made to go off road anyway. It was made to work it's ass off doing what them little jap trucks can't;p

4wheeling lets you find the weak points on a vehicle. i've had 2500 pounds in and behind my yoter and it did just fine considering it has all of 90hp

It finds different weak points, just like towing finds it's own. For every mile towing you can multiply it by 2.

We're all gonna have different opinions on this. Ask 10 mechanics about oil,.you'll get 10 different opinions. Same with spark plugs and tires. I personally really like the BFG all terrain, I've seen many sets go 60,000 miles and they're excellent All Terrain tires. Yeah, they suck when you have to align or balancethem b/c of the rimy guards but overall great tire. Love the way they look too.

I wouldn't use the Firestones for pure off road. That's not what they are made for. Of all the tires I've tried they are the ones that have lasted. I got 40k out of my last set. Could have gotten a few more thousand out of them, but I don't like riding around on bologna skins. Many of my friends with duallys are running them.

[buzzy613]

any one have input on 1.7 ratio rockers? the stud size i need?

 

[Gen1Pat]

We get nearly all our stuff from Fisher AP. Then it's Car Quest, last Napa. We don't even use Advanced. They suck! I'm not a Ford guy, but I THINK they use the standard 3/8 stud size. Do a google search, or go to Comp's website and look into it there.

 

[94warpig]

Any of those guys selling mevotec chassis parts?

 

[Gen1Pat]

Not as far as I know.

 

[94warpig]

Just started stocking it at my store. Its good stuff. Not lifetime warr but some of it is as good or better than moog

 

[warriorgirl09]

moog ball joints and such, fram filter oil filters, wix or toyota on toyotas. auto zone brakes because they're warranty is ******* AWESOME

 

[warriorgirl09]

any one have input on 1.7 ratio rockers? the stud size i need?

i dont like swapping from the factory ration unless it's gonna be a hell of a high performance engine... i'm even gonna run the factory 1.5 ratio on my chevy and make 500horse. buy the right cam and you dont need aftermarket ratio on the rockers... infact you'll make more power achieving your desired lift with the cam verses the rockers
