Thanks. I appreciate it. Hopefully this fall we can rock and roll on it again. Not really a ton left to finish. I am waiting to order the new QP 9" and for Dakota Digital to release the HDX gauges for my car.

There are a ton of great looking wheels out there. Most important is how much do you want to spend and what tire sizes do you want to run?
I'd say the max in the rear would be a 295.. Falken makes a 295/40-18...great tires and is 27" tall, so it fills the wheel wells. On the front you can run a 255/40-18, which is slightly shorter and gives a nice rake...

Do you see a problem with the 275 up front Andrew ?

I think for Korndawg, some slightly taller tires might be better, since he mentioned that he didn't want the "slammed G-ride look."

I have 275/35-18s on the front now. It's doable, but even with the right backspacing the tire will likely rub the sway bar at full lock (mine do).

I am located in Northern Iowa in Forest City. Lots of work to do yet, I think. Everything just seems daunting now so maybe its not as bad as I think. Thanks for the well wishes for the parents to all! It's very much appreciated!

Lol thanks. A lot of it is the wiring and the running of all the coolant lines, gauge cluster wire, power steering lines and stuff like that. Also I have the shell of a 4WD 4L80e that is waiting for the Stage 3 Jakes Kit that i bought for it to be installed. So i'll have to start saving up some dough so I can have someone rebuild that for me. The new QP 9" i could do myself tho
