I mostly lurk on the trailvoy site and knew about this site for awhile but figured this was way out of my league but I finally today decided to check this site out and all I can say is WOW

Glad you like the site, but you're going to need to install a lift ASAP!

yeah, I want one and I have a shock that I think needs replacing so sounds like a good time.

Why buy a lift? Barton doesn't have one unless you count 87s as lift. But if you do, then you have to count all of the armor as a lowering kit. Lol.

bgwolfpack, I'll likely look up MarkMC when I get ready.
I don't really need a lift for what I want to do but I like the look and the more ability my TB has the more places I might go. Kind of stuck with the 3.42 gears though, too big of a tire will stink with those gears.

like I said, I can do most of what I want to do stock but I walked by this afternoon and noticed my TB is just about the same height as my mini-van, ughhhh!

Welcome
. I to am in the same predicament. 32's and 3.42's. I'm on the other side of the fence about them though. I think the combination blows!! An upgrade is definitely in my future. Good luck with your TB and have fun!! 3...2...1....FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!

thanks guys, the bad thing about the shocks/lift is I just bought new tires. I got the 255/70/16 because they have a wider footprint so I'll be more comfortable when we go on the beach but they are also almost the same height as stock so I can keep my same spare or mess up my speedo. It also didn't require spacers or a lift.
