Re: Suggestions on going to 33s?
 

Aaron,

Looks like you've got the information you need. Did you get a drop
pitman arm with your kit? You may need one to correct bumpsteer. You can get
a 1" transfer case drop if you get vibes if you are on a budget and cannot
afford the SYE for a while.

I can't belive I'm the first one in this thread to say it, but THANK YOU for
your service!

Thanks Carl, SnoMan, and nrs.
I think I've got that part pretty much straightened out now. Yes, to
answer your question, I did get a dropped pitman arm and and a t-case
lowering kit; and I'm not getting any bump steer. Do you think I'm
going to need to do any steering or brake upgrades? Also, is there a
way to calibrate a fuel gauge? I've always had to remember to fill up
before I get to a quarter tank, and it stays pegged way above full for
a good while after top it off.
On a side note, from reading previous discussions, it would seem that
it's best to just ignore this Bill guy. So that's what I'm going with
after this and I don't need anybody to comment about it. I'm in the
middle of me second Iraq tour, which has been extended; I'm the
company commander of the largest area within the "triangle of death"
in Iraq. The last thing I need to deal with right now is a smartass.

Carl, you're welcome.

Watch your back and your front and get back in one piece. I do not
like to here about any of you troops dying over there or getting hurt.
I did my time during Vietnam and lost some friend over there but then
they did not have car bombs the or the civil stife that you are
dealing with. I have a friend that was a "tunnel rat" during that war
and lived to talk about it and is still here today. I was saddened to
hear that they extended your tour as I imagine you were too. I hope it
is your last tour and one day you can put this behind you.
