Ronin this is what I am concerned about:
I'm probably going to keep my truck stock with 265/75/16's. For my mod, I think I will go with a full brush guard and sell my bull bar.
In addition I need new spark Plugs and probably need a brake job this month.
I know you have a lot of good reasons for them, but I think I will get the uniball upper A-arms before I consider a lift.
