    Well i do want 35's cause there is a noticible diference in hight thats for sure.So first would be a tuner,then cranked t-bars to level it out,then by fall some 35's.Think it would still be cool?

    Ya i was thinking offereing 5K.Whatcha think?Cause the going rate here for used trucks with that kinda miles is about 7-8K.

    So with all that being sed,if i did regear when i got 35's,that would take me into the 250k range atleast?Whatever used truck i get,i want to atleast last me 100k.N i would be muddin her alitle bit.But nothing hardcore like my 2006.

    Even with cranking the T-bars to fit my 35's?Of course i will get a tuner with custom tunes.But like i said.Right away like within a month say if i got it,i would be getting a tuner and cranking the T-bars.

    Also a side note.I would also be lifting it as well.But that would be sometime next year tho.

    Crankin the tbars should not affect ur mileage life if you regear. Its just gonna put more wear and tear on your front.end components! If u regear it shudn affect tranny life with 35s. But you never know. If I were u, 3inch body lift or 6inch suspension lift with the tbars barely cranked is what I would run with 35s for longterm. Here is my angles [​IMG]

    Ya i was actually thinking a body lift cause of the angle's the cranked T-bars would put me at.

    Oh and i don't mean mpg's.I mean miles in life of the truck with 35's(again,at some point i would regear).So again,with a tuner right away,the t-bars cranked abit,then in 5 months and some 35's,and by next year spring 2013,with regular maintinence,some minor off roading.Whats the life in miles wise i can expect for the truck?

    Again it would not be my daily driver as thats what i have my saturn for.

    N should i offer him 5K
