Great looking rig!! Why the change from 3.08 to 4.56? I'm still not real clear on why changing the gears would do much for you unless you were rock climbing or something.

Re: i should have started a build thread .....!!!
i changed the gears cause i could do 90 km/h in second gear with my setup before the gear change. with the 35 tires and 700r4 tranny with 4.56 gears my truck drives like its stock again... but with 3 times more engine power lol my rpm's are right where i want them now. 3.08 gears work greaty with stock 27-29 inch tires.

Aahh, ok. Either way, its a great looking truck, can't wait to get mine on the road to see if I need to change the gears!

Truck looks great man. Yukon/Suburban 3rd row seats work great for the rear!

Re: i should have started a build thread .....!!!
Why did you mount the fuse block side ways instead of with the wires coming out of the top? Just wondering if it doesn't fit right that way or you just preferred doing it like that.
