[QUOTE="Milertimeraptor, post: 1590123, member: 2725"] Just wanted to say thank you to everyone! I was super pleased to see all the love. So far after a year of driving it top perch, just as a daily driver and with winter conditions in Tahoe, it has been good no problems with the stock cv's 120,000 mi total on the truck. I painted them the next day haha don't worry! After a year there are some chips in the paint so maybe ill try tremclad this time. So surprisingly enough the shock perch is stuck solid and hasn't moved, had it aligned after everything was done. Totally forgot about the pull to the right might have jus been getting used to the bigger tires/ top perch or jus stopped noticing it, maybe tire rotation helped... idk but either way not an issue to me anymore. rear is completely stock sits a lil bit nose high but not to the point where its super aggressive. Honestly love the stance of it compared to some other vehicles i've owned that sit a lil bit higher in the rear. took 2 mpg off city driving so now I get 15 mpg in town. Would def prefer lower gearing but has been fine so far, if ur towing anything I would say go lower. Since its a 5.4 I wouldn't say the performance was that great to start with, didn't really notice anything substantial with the bigger tires. Also As soon as I put the 37's on I made sure to flex it up until a tire came up off the ground and see where everything rubs. I had to trim the inside of the front fenders and zip tie all the plastic away from the tire was pretty simple. Other then that the front didn't come close enough to have to pinch or roll anything. (Jumping might be a different story) The rear barely rubs just toward the back of the fender fully flexed. Very slightly and can easily just shave off a lil bit of the fender flair on the inside so it wouldn't be noticeable. (still on the to do list) not a huge issue bc that's only at full flex but still needs to be done. [/QUOTE]
