I'm new to this forum but I want your guys opinions. This June I'm either going to get a lift or supercharger. The two lifts I'm looking at are the 6" Bulletproof Suspension lift or the 6.5" Full Throttle lift kit. I would run dual Fox 2.0 resevoir shocks in the front and singles in the rear. I also have the air suspension. I would get the 38x15.50x18 Nitto Mud Grappler tires because I already have Lexani V.P. Off Road 18's. I wish I could get 40's but the Mickey Thompson's are to skinny (13.50" width). And I'm not going to get new rims because I just got those last summer. Or I could get a supercharger now and eventually get the lift. The reason why I can't get both right now is because it is going to be my graduation present from my parents (as I'm just graduating high school this summer). The prices are about the same when comes down to everything. So what do you guys think?

Would they consider adopting me?

Okay, seriously, you need to consider whether you are more interested in off-roading with the big boys or blowing rice-powered rigs off the road. Personally, if I were your age, I'd invest the money and try to amortize enough to buy put a down payment on some property. But do whatever gets your lizard chubby.

Well I off-road a lot right now because me and my buddies go out on the weekends. But I'm not sure if I'll have time to offroad as much next year in college.

Then ask your parents to invest the money for a year until you know what you want. You may need to buy a better computer or engagement ring. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I would get the SC. So many guys on this forum wheel their trucks with 37's and no lift it's not funny. Rubicon, Moab, Paragon, etc. Just get a good set of shocks to go with those tires.
IMHO.

Oh, then kiss your parents ass. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
