yea but if you re-gear you will gain a lot of the power back....cheaper than going FI.
Edit:
Or better yet do both!!!!

Yeah, may do both.
Regearing would help more on the low end than @ the top. Truck has plenty of power under 50mph (Breathless performance package, powerflash programmer, extreme flow exhaust). Its driving 70mph in a 6,000 lb brick with a 7,000 lb trailer up hill that its lacking. Needs more horses for that Supercharging now, trade for duramax desiel in 2006.

Interesting drmiles....I'm use to jeeps...and beleive me you really feel the difference in the low end once you go to 33's....you need 4.56 or 4.88 when you go to a 35's in a wrangler.

Yeah I agree both options would Increase my towing ability. My theroy is you can never have too much horsepower!!! So I'm looking into SC's now and regearing later if needed. Also want a front locker added when and if I regear.
It was suggested the 4:10 to 4:88 would not be noticeable. So I am waiting for the 5:13'S to come out.

I like the lift but the tires look way too small. What the point of adding 6 inches but no larger meats? I know you didn't care for the ride with the Nittos but it just looks sort of unfinished.
I run the same tires you have with no lift or rubbing. I'm not trying to stir anything up. Don't take this the wrong way.

James-
Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower into Blingdom, you go and to do some thing like this. . .
AND totally redeem yourself. It looks much better.

Simply adjust the torsion bars upward. I think mine is too high in the front now.. those pics were shortly after I had it done. I noticed that if I added the winch it sagged even more, so I cranked the torsion bars a couple of turns.
However If I had it to do over I would go with the Fabtech lift and add upgraded trailer arms, instead of stock.
