I didn't realize that people had actually posted on my thread, my bad. Anyway, I have 2 sets of tires, 33x15.5x15 Super Swamper TSL's and 33x12.5x16 procomp all terrains. I just haven't put them on yet because I wanted to make sure that my alignment isn't going to eat up my expensive tires. My steering pulls to the right and the alignment shop says they can't do anything else to help it out. oh well, just have to get used to it until I can get the extreme drop pitman arm, which apparently is made of solid gold, at least their prices reflect that.

I just picked up an aluminum one piece driveshaft, that hopefully will get rid of the vibration that occurs between 10-30 miles per hour.

Probably not too well, since I have stock 3.27 gears right now. I have been on the lookout for some decent 4.56 or 4.88 gears. A friend of mine owns a machine shop in town and he cuts me a deal on installation, usually only $75 bucks to install them if I do all the leg work like locate parts and remove the differentials or rearend from out of the truck. He just put some 3.73's in the rear of my mustang, he does a pretty good job.

Yeah, I'd like to see some meats too.

I got a question for you, when you are going between 30-45 miles per hour and you turn do your tires squeal at all. There is a certain point that mine will squeal and if I hold it there it will continue to squeal until I either turn farther or straighten the wheel out. I noticed it really bad in a walmart parking lot today

You should be fine after the alignment tires should be ok
