good to see forward progress on the truck. I'm sure the a/c will be appreciated in your temps. how do you find your tire sizes as far as gear ration and land speed/rpm? I am thinking of going with 235/60r17 (28.1" tall tire) tires with a 3.73 diff ratio. curious how yours worked out for speed vs rpm at highway cruising speed.
Drove it yesterday. 40 mph - 1,550 rpm, 45 mph - 1,600 rpm
