Using performance upgrades to make up for the oversize tires and their weight is just destroying your transmission, especialy towing. You need atleast 4.56 gears for 38's. I know because i have had them before. Dont learn the hard way. You have a 50,000 truck why cut corners.
Are those TOYOs E or D rated?
Put another inch of block in the rear to get rid of the 'Nose high" look.
IMHO.

Thanks man! I bought it on saturday and started into on monday. Still doing more. Doing one piece driveline , traction bars, and air bags tommorow. Will probably put some GEARS in it soon too. What do you think about those amp steps?

I know it looks nose high but if you measure it its not inch higher in the back. I'm not for the nose high look myself either I'm going to give it bit and see how it settles plus air bags are going on tomorrow.

Amp steps rock. Money well spent IMO.
One thing people have to remember when looking at these lifted trucks. They usually appear higher in the front when the kits are installed. Not uncommon. If one puts a level on the top of the bed on level ground you will more often than not find that the truck isn't sitting higher. It just looks that way because the front fenders wells are cut out higher than the rears. I deal with this on EVERY truck we lift. Customer comments about not liking it, I get the level out, problem solved.
