only thing that will change your off roading abilities will be the fact that you have a shit ton more weight over the front axle. However with tires that big it should help, but just be careful with soft ground it can sink pretty fast.
will work great as a recovery vehicle, time for a big ass winch

Well… with 9" of lift and 39.5x13.5s it rubs up and down in the wheel wells with about 5-6" travel, and then it rubs on the leaf springs from the steering from lock to lock. The 37s will have no rubbing issues at all, so I will probably use those when we get muddy. Plus, I don’t like the IROKS and I’ve heard nothing but bad things about them.

I’m in the process of finding some stuff now. I want the right parts the first time, so I’m not buying and selling to get it the way I want. Def looking forward to 400+ HP and 800+ TQ though… I’m going to need a tranny for that though

That’s awesome. What sorta price range did it end up being in? I’ve been saying for a while that my next truck has to be diesel…

I bought the truck for $16,000. Asking price was $18,500. Bluebook for stock is $16,000 for this area in great condition. Because this is a southern truck, it is in stellar condition. Also, ~$5,000 has been invested into this thing in the last 2.5 years… mods depreciate, but not that much. It does have a couple problems that don’t have to be addressed immediately, but will be ASAP. A broken leaf spring. Not broken in a critical part, but a busted leaf is never a good idea. Worn carrier bearing… eh, when it bothers me or lets go I’ll spend the $60 on the bearing. Needs the tires rotated, and an alignment… but I’ll be putting the snow tires on soon, and then the alignment for winter.
Truck makes great power for being stock and moves pretty well for 4.10:1 gears and a lot of tire. 17psi is almost instant and the tranny feels great. First mods will be “freebies” which will be swapping the air filter fo rthe cheaper and more efficient 6637, as well as removing the muffler… I don’t have a resonator/catalitic converter on the truck, so it will be straight through from the turbo to the tailpipe. Monster exhaust might be a christmas present for myself. 
Will update again with good pics, and maybe some video.
