     I think he was saying wow, cause your quote was if you can clear 33's and it looks like you can clear 40's easy.  How much of a lift do you have on those trucks?

What are your plans for it? Is it just going to be a big mud/trail truck or do you have ideas of making it nice, as well?

well i think im gonna have my short bed just be real tall and clean and just us it for when i wanna take my old lady out or when i go to my friends house. but dont worry my short bed will be in the mud alot! and then with the long bed im just gonna make that a pretty nice lookin truck that i can drive to work and wheel on the weekends my shortbed has a nasty 283 that has just about everything done to it and its bolted up to a TCI th350 with a np205 and the long bed has a big block 454 punched out to 468 full roller motor. but im still building the long bed

No, let's be really safe and slap on some 12" wire wheels with a little bit sidewall!! Would that be considered 16's? :D

Put some 43's on it and raise the roof of your garage two stories, or dig down about 20' like a parking deck under a building.  I hope the traffic lights 'round your house are pretty high.

You'll definitely have to have to blower and the bottle, i don't know if it would even move under its own power without it.   ;D
