Howdy everyone, Well let me start off by saying this, First off allllll you 4.0 lovers, i have already decided NOT to follow every other person AND the same goes to you 5.0 lovers too! After the last year having my truck and seeing all the hell I have put my 2.9 through it it still cranks up and chugs like the first day i got it...well it almost brings a tear to my eye. So once again if your all suggestion going to be a 4.0 swap or 5.0 swap don't worry about replying because i will not even reply to it lol. Alright so now onto why I made this post, I have a 1990 extended cab 2WD (yes TWO WHEEL DRIVE! and I know a four wheel drive would be better but my truck so light and with the locker and mud country tires that are 12 inches wide on the back....well i can go through shit that full size truck have problems going through...and well i love being the under dog haha) it has the 2.9 engine, 5 speed tranny. Right now is sitting on 31x12.5x15 inch wheels, 4 inch suspension and 3 inch body lift. I already have some plans but I want some of your guys feed back (2.9 lovers ESPECIALLY!) Ok I already know I will be rebuilding the engine and tranny. I also will be getting a 6 inch suspension lift from Sky jacker will the rear springs and new better radius arms, basically the wholeeee package. I plan to run maybe 33's either 14 inch or stay 12.5 inch wide. Now I want suggestions on what would be best to do keep in mind this is a Daily driver but also i want to be a Damn fine mud truck, so suggestion like what would be a good cam? or pistons? anythings appreciated (NOT 4.0 or 5.0 swap! lol)
