Kid, You must like spending money. 9 inch lift, 38 inch boggers, built 400 engine. Let me guess, you must have around 10 or 12 grand tied up in a truck worth only about $2500. You must be single, cause if you are married with a family you darn sure are not feeding your family. You think that you have a "real truck". Try a truck that doesn't need a lift kit to fit bigger tires on it. Or needs to have the fender wells cut out to fit larger tires. Or how about one that requires "double clutching" to shift. Your transmission is probably a 4 speed syncro. Try driving a non-syncro 4 speed sometime. If you can without breaking the transmission or blowing up the engine. You say that your truck will out pull others. If you are not afraid of mangling your front bumper, try pushing a Caterpillar dozer. Not on pavement either, but in the dirt. I used my WDX with open differentails and old NDT tires to push a dead Cat dozer once. Not something that I would do every day, but it's nice knowing that my old flat head engine has enought balls to do it. A real truck, geez, give us all here a break will you. Robert
