I ordered mine last week for my ext cab 2wd, can't wait to get this thing off the ground, it is going up from a 2/4. Ill be running a TR224, SST3200, LTs and most likely some 4.56s and that will be plenty enough performance for me.

Haven't decided on tire/wheel yet but it doesn't matter because I too broke to afford them

I feel you on babying the truck man... I am tired of pot holes and not being able to go through a little mud... more than anything though I hate having to jack my truck up just to change the oil or work on it
See that's basically the exact same setup I have. 224/224, ss3600, long tubes, and I'd definitely go up to at least 4.56s. I may sit on the idea for a while and see how I feel in a month or two.

by then I will let you know how it feels compared to running around on 30" tires

When I can come up with the money I want to go with a similar tire size to what you said but in a 18" wheel
