Well the truck is in the barn for winter. my current set up is doing pretty good but I want some more. Some things im looking at doing is the NX proton kit, cut outs and 4.10's in the rear. Also thinking about just running in 2wd because I tried 4wd launching and it just hopped everywhere. Does anyone know how to make these trucks handle better at 100+ because it gets a little squirly at high speed. Also thinking about going back to stock height to help with the handling and low end. Is the jump from 3.73's to 4.10's noticeable? Sorry for the random thoughts but thought id pick your brains on what a good direction to go. Goals are a mean street truck that will hand it to the diesels in my town.

 

The closer to the ground you get the better it will handle at speed. Add the extra front spoiler, tighter suspension parts (Eibach makes good stuff) and make sure your steering gear is tightened up.



Mine gets handles better the faster I go. At roughly 110mph the truck is locked down on the pavement and not squigglies at all. I've pushed as fast as 135 but the tires don't handle those speeds well.

 

These trucks only have 100mph on the dash for a reason.
Get it lower to the ground and make damn sure your suspension and brakes/tires are in good condition before you make an *** of yourself with a 100 shot.

 

My truck never got the squirrels at high speed. Does it have to do with the 4wd, maybe?

 

when is the last time it has been aligned? add some toe in to help high speed stability.

 

Going from 3.73s to 4.10s IMO isn't worth it, also if you swap the rear you have to swap the front if you ever plan on using it as 4x4.
