well cody you lifted it and got bigger tires. yeah with thoes shoes it'll never be fast. you have a 4x4 use it as such and save up for a "fast" vehicle later. my truck smoked my buddy's v10 f250 and his diesel f350 so getting a diesel wont do much

No, no, no... The point is, you've got to trick yourself into believing that your truck is gonna run like that stock, so you don't hesitate to buy it. Duh? :wink: Put yourself a Banks or Bully Dog kit on there though, and I think you'd be happy. Maybe a little here and there afterwards, and just keep building on as with anything else.
