anyone post me in the right direction to get the best deal on a lift???
I wouldnt go any higher(numerically lower) than 4.88s. Mines noticeably slower with 4.88s and 35s than it was with 3.42s and 32s. So with 38s I would run 4.88s at minimum. 5.13s or 5.38s would be better.

With 4.88s you would be turning ~1960 rpm at 65. Thats nothing.

When mines back together with an 80e it will be running ~2300 at 65.

if I stepped up to 5.13's what would I be turning at 65? I just don't want it to be screaming going down the road buring extra fuel if I don't need it. But on the other hand when I get on the gas I want it to GO, so if going another step lower will be a big advantage and not many more rpms at cruise I'm all for it..


I really dont want the nittos because everyone around me has them, I like the swampers the best but can't seem to find them anywhere for a good package price.. I found 20" wheels with nitto mud grappler 38's for $2787 mounted and shipped.. not a lot more for the toyo's from the same place but they dont sell swampers so maybe I'll just go toyo if I can't find swampers for the right price.. anyone have any leads on where to get a good deal on swampers and wheels???
