Other plans?? I've got plenty of those! I'm not sure about which lift,
but I will retain the 31x10.50s unless I find a deal on something larger to
put on these spare rims I have in the garage... I'll probably add new
torsion bars with it b/c of the 106k miles of Jon Smith driving have
probably taken a toll on the stockers... My long range goals after the
lift are a 408cid, STOUT tranny, possibly a full-time Tcase conversion (at
the very least, to fix the D*&AM! leak on the stock Tcase). After that's
completed, I expect to see the same vicious cycle... more lift, more power,
more lift, more power.... It's NOT an addiction though! I can stop
anytime I want to.
