    Yes, from what Steve and I talked about do the 88's. I think he's at 35" and loves the 88 he/we/they put in.

    Honestly, I had it tuned about a week after the lift and 35's cause I couldn't stand it either. A tune will help out alot, but gears would be best. I daily drove it for a year on the tune till I got everything for the gear swap. She was actually pretty peppy with just the tune. Where in Texas are you located?

    I drove my truck for a week with 3.73's on 35's and said no thanks. Parked it and drove the 4 cylinder beater until the 4.56's came in

    I was gonna recommend him, just wasn't sure where you were located! Glad you got it done and happy with it, best change I've ever made was getting the tune. I still need to see Dale about tunning my wifes Tahoe...

    Do you plan on bigger tires in the future or you gonna stay with the 35's?
