Small block was enough, bent or collapsed the steel toe boots i had on, got block off my foot and had to grab a pair of pliers to be able to get my boot off, then about three or four months later i was working construction with my cousin, dropped a 4 car garage header on my toe, in tennis shoes.... Doesnt bend anynore unless it pops first, and i know when its going to snow!!!!

I need more gear that's for damn sure with these heavy 20's and 29 inch tall tires. I'm thinking 4.56's but will prolly end up with 4.10's I'd love to find a nice used set of 4.30s

How much do your rims/tires weigh? My current wheels are like 45lbs each and tires are anywhere from 63-78lbs..... I have found a set of 17s that are i wanna say 28lbs a piece and some 285/7017 that are about 44lbs..found some 20s that are advertised at 30#(havent looked into tires for those yet.. Just not sure how my truck would look with that skinny of a tire, but dropping 40something lbs per tire may be worth it, lol!!!
