I thought some of you might find this interesting.

I just got some 33" BFG KM's for $450 new and managed to fit them on my truck with only a 1" body lift. I just pounded down the front fender seam, and there is just barely enough room in the rear.

Got some 4.88 gears also. Bought a used front diff w/factory 4.88 and had the rear regeared locally. This is the best improvement I have made to my truck so far. Much easier to drive on the street and offroad also. My clutch is much happier.

Got to try it all out at Little Moab south of SLC, UT on Sunday. There is some really extreme stuff out there, not that I was doing it but someone had.

Here's a couple pics. Notice the complete lack of front articulation, and limited rear flex as well. Someday I'll be able to get a trail truck.

*sigh* MeeeeeeeeemORies... :D Enjoy the days of simple 'wheelin where pushing your winshield frame up with your feet and watching oil squirt out of spark plug holes doesn't even enter your mind... :D Nice truck.
