Re: New 38s
 
Crossover helps when you lift it more than 4". To fit those 38s you're going to need more than that or some alone time with a sawzall.

Look at Off Road Designs for good service and prices. You can get a junkyard 2WD box to keep the cost down with their components.

For better info, we need to know truck specs: Year, type, axles, lift type and amount, etc.

Nope it turned great almost as good as my 03 with 35s but then I put a D60 up front and lost alot of turning although I don't have the common mud truck problem of a huge turn one way and a sharp turn the other way its just equal but not as good maybe one day ill try and fix it
