Thank you for the welcome.

A little about myself. Im 33 born and raised in SoCal. Married with 2 kids.

Just picked up my truck a few weeks back private party. Needed a few little things but overall was in good shape. Truck's an 01 with 43k on the "O". 10" lift comprised of both Superlift springs and Fabtech Drop Shackles. Fabtech shock hoop in the front for double shocks. When I recieved the truck it had 6 VERY worn Rancho 9000's on it. I just replaced those with 6 Procomp 3000's. Not the highest end shock but does the job. Will be using the truck for hauling construction stuff here and there and towing our toyhauler around. Oh and it has the V10 in it. New motor to me but love it.

What size tire are you running with that 10" lift - looks like maybe a 38/40?
