I dont want to build the motor in this thing so 600/1200 to the wheels will be pushing it as far as reliability is concerned, if I did the minimum which is cut/coated pistons and rods, I could run 800/1500 and be pretty good but the motor build with me doing EVERYTHING would cost me about 6K with the cheap ****, doing it with really good stuff and having an engine builder do it but me still doing the R&R would be 12K
Diesel **** is too rich for my blood when you start talking built motors.

I love how it currently looks but I miss being fast. I had the stock tires on the other day while I cleaned the inside of the wheels and it felt so much faster vs the 35s. I can do a 3/5 drop over stock and use my current wheels with some tall/wide street tires(UHPs maybe) and I think it would look pretty good. Ive got a 74 bronco to use out at the deer lease now so I no longer need alot of offroad ability and a 3/5 truck would get the job done getting into my deer lease and keep me out of trouble jumping ditches. Only current pic I have of it the *** end is usually about 2" higher but you get the idea. Lowered with a built trans and MPI twins and Ive got a mid 11 second truck that I can still tow 20K with 
I like the idea of lowering your truck Cody. 
Nice trailer by the way. Anything good in there?

Yep, camping stuff, 04 honda foreman with some goodies and an 06 Jeep Rubicon with about 14K worth of aftermarket stuff, your typical deer hunting gear
Only recent pics I have of it but its pretty much got everything you can possibly do to it minus a V8 which my dad has been talking to me lately about doing for him
