The 3.73's with 35's work great on the highway. But the auto trans has a high 1st gear and even in low range I often wish I had a lower gear. First gear on the auto is 3.231. First on the manual is 5.940. I guess I am spoiled because my previous Dodge diesel had the manual.

After researching the suspensions and asking questions it looks like I will go with the "CHASE" series KORE suspension. This is the furthest I can go into the KORE suspension line and still retain my trucks original towing capability. This is my business truck that I use to tow my snowcats with so I need the 1 ton rating. I sold my Dodge Power Wagon because It just didnt have the capability to tow my bigger cat. BUT I do miss her! LOCKERS :drool:.

I will also run 35" tires. I need to keep this truck down lower but 40" tires sure would have been sweet. Maybe on my wifes Dodge Power Wagon shes been bugging me to get her.........:D

Ive been looking at the new Goodyear MTRs. Does anyone have any real world feed back? I do love Goodyear Tires.

OH NO! I havent dropped the Volvo! No this is just a rig for the Americas. Again my dream rig is the Volvo!:victory:

Good!!! We have taken the box of ours and pressure-washed it. Great to see shiny bolts and breaklines appear from under the undercoating on a 34 year old truck!:wings:

And now I'll get on board on your Dodge project. They are cool!:victory:
