Re: 2006 Silverado body swap/frame(chassis) swap 4.3 2wd to 4.8 4wd

Just got in from doing front brakes on the truck. Had rotors turned and new pads. Found one bolt was jerry rigged on there with a spacer, apparently they lost the oem one. I replaced it with another I had from parts truck.

New 02 sensor cleared the codes it was giving and put in a new oil pressure switch.

Took it for a ride to test brakes and all and man... 4.8, 265/70/17s and 3.42s make for a slow ass truck. I hope the 3.73 swap helps some.. I was wanting to step up to 285/70/17 tires b/c they all need replacing but I am not sure if that is a good idea even with the 3.73s. Thoughts?
