Can start by putting some new spring packs on in the rear to get rid of that sag.

It's not sag, its cali-lean... new springs, bigger blocks or a shackle flip can fix that.

Anyway, WELCOME!

Nice looking truck. Looks like a superlift 6" lift on there. Any idea if the previous owner geared it?

^previous owner got it from a used car dealer like this and never did anything to it.I think I might have to gear up the truck so it feels more responsive with the big tires.does a lot of stress go trhough the engine and transmission if not geared for big tires?also what gear size you guys recommend for the 315/75/16 tires.

It can be possible and 4.10's at least.

4.56 or 4.88 for 35s...which is what they are for the most part.

Gears make a huge difference.

welcomeeeee

4.88's if you think you might EVER go to a bigger tire. gearing it will be a tranny saver. x2 on springs, blocks, shackle flip BUT it looks like you may be cranked up more than you need in the front (little hard to tell for sure from the pictures).

welcome to the forum!

Thanks guys for the tips.there is a few minor things I gotta do to it,the rear heater and a/c controls are not working,the map lights also don't work,gotta get a oem radio for it,put some gears in it and try and raise up the rear a bit.I'm good with mechanical and electrical tasks.
