Speedo says I'm doin 70 when gps says 55. Odometer clocks an extra 1/4 for every mile I go. All according to gps. I'm just thinkin talker tires will get the final ratio closer to stock. Not sure what my keep came with stock but I know it has 4.10's now. What size bump stops do u have on the rear? I'm not worried about the front I've got huge aftermarket fenders up there.

Hey nice 2dr, mine is very similar well mostly just the black, peeling clear coat and 2 dr aspects. I have 4.5" homebrew lift with true 33's. I did the basic cut and fold in the rear (no flares on mine), no rear bump stops yet and I dont rub in the rear. Currently my shocks limit my up travel in both directions but thats what it is, holes in the floor soon. I could easily run 35's with this set up and i would like to go back down to 3-3.5" of lift when i do.

edit: tried to upload a pic but photobucket is being lame

I'm on 4.5" and 35's. I still need to redo my bumps to protect my new shocks but was also thinking about going to 3". What length shocks are you running right now that give you a ton of downtravel?
