Just thought I'd share.

So I bought this truck last winter. It had a 4" Superlift with 315/75/16 and it also had a stinky under powered 6.2 Diesel. The first thing I did was removed the Superlift and installed new front leaf springs, and a new set of wheels. I wasn't sure what size of tire I could get under the truck after removing the lift so I just bought a cheep used set of 285/75/16 off of craigslst to get me by for awhile.
After getting the suspension set up to my liking it was time to do something about the under powered 6.2. Even though it did run pretty good other than smoking alot at cold start up I couldn't stand the smell and how doggy it was. So i yanked the 6.2 and droped in a very mild built 454. So far this truck is so much more fun to drive then before.


Do you see anything wrong in the lower pic ?
