Not a problem Dave. You were sort of half way in between categories anyway :D

But we are glad to have you. RE is a good company located not far from me in CA. I am sure you will be happy with it.

I have the same lift, well an older version, and have for ten years. It has given me zero problems so far, although i am pretty easy on it. I think you'll like it.

When I do my liftsnd get new tires,32×11.50×15. can I trim my fenders back more? I know it sounds like a total newbie question !

Yes, you can open them up a little

[XJ Wheeler]

Yep. The fronts will need more than the back due to steering. But good thing is the front has a lot more area that can be cut. If you want to retain the stock flares though, there isn't a lot of extra room. The rear is a bit of a different story. You can only trim about 1/2" off because there is spot welds connecting the two pieces of sheet metal. But you can cut slits between the welds and bend over the subsequent tabs.

If you need more info, feel free to ask.

Hey guys here again I'm going to be putting 33 1250 15 inch rims on my GP what kind of gears do you guys recommend 410 or 4.56?

[Brasscatz]

If you're planning on driving it daily, go with 4.10. If you're offroad only, 4.56.

[pezter65]

That's the thing brass cat from probably half and half on DD and OR...

[Brasscatz]

Then I would go 4.10. Mudderoy has 4.56 in his and his RPM are screaming on the highway. You'll save more gas and be a lot easier on your motor at 4.10.

K.thx
