Need all opinions on these two trucks please

No it wont clear 35s without trimming and no 35s will not hurt it with 3.55s

 

yes 3.55s will hurt it in the long run but just riding around town not doggin it, 35s with 3.55s wont hurt! yeah 35s will fit if torsions are cranked up and you cut the bottom of the valence just a little bit. I done my buddys like that and you cant hardly tell where i cut (Wasnt much) and it done fine with a non pi 5.4 with 3.55s

 

go with the 03!! it just looks like it has been taken care of alot better. plus i dont really like the paint job on the 02 screw. there isnt a difference in them suspension wise. all the 02 has is its Tbars cranked a little. you can do that with the 03 for free!

 

The 2003 ftw

 

03 for sure. the paint on the 02 is you can level it and get your own wheels and tires.

 

Go with the 03! year newer, less miles, cheaper, looks better. I mean if you really don't need the extra cab space then definiatly the 03. I mean a scab can do everything a screw can just not as comfortably.

 

neither, both are way overpriced. the paint job on the one is worth a kick in the nuts.

Well my first initial investment would be a tuner for it(I can just crank the t-bars up and forgo the leveling kit right?).That's a given right off the bat.Again it wouldn't be getting dogged.but at times will be working her off road and breaking her loose on the streets.But overall,would be pretty tamed.Ya i'm leaning torwards the 2003.Also at some point,this summer,whichever i got,would be getting lifted as well.So with the 355 gears,35's,being higher in the air,but also tuned, will tranny wine?

Well tell ya what,if you can find one that's cheaper with bout the same miles or less,by all means i will come down there and buy it.

 

You will be fine with 3.55 gears and 35's. I ran that combo with my superchips tuner for almost four years. Just make sure you have a transmission cooler to keep thetemps down.
