Well.... Either way find a kit that comes with the dl.
Installing a sye on a 98 is cake. Took me less than an hour. Don't even have to pull the case.

Quick question I have found a pretty good deal on a couple of used 275/75r15 tires. I am about to put on 33 12.5r15 on as my regulars. Can I use the 275/75r15 as my spare? I know it is a little smaller but I was hoping to get away with it. Thanks

as a spare it'll be ok - just keep it out of 4x4 when you have it on the truck

I believe Rusty's sells an after market crossmember with a 1" drop. But as OD said above, please dont put spacers unddr an after market x-member lol

I can use vaseline to put the injectors into the fuel rail right? Isn't it because it is petroleum based.

Cool thanks! I was reading your write up and couldn't tell if you said you used them to get the o rings on or to put them in the rail.

I have answered this question three times in this thread. So have a lot of other people. 235-75-15 with no fender trimming. If you wanna trim you could fit 31s with a bi of trimming if you do a total hack job maybe 33s
