Hi guys. My name is Shane but I go by Stubbz because I lost part if my finger in a bike accident. I enjoy short walks to the fridge and beer. I currently DD an 02 Ram SLT(80k miles) and an 06 Honda cbr600rr. Also have an 02 Yamaha wr426f for fun. I'm just here to learn about this bad boy I just got. Pretty sure it's an 85 k10 350/700r4/208 with 35s. Id like to go bigger but need the knowledge to do so. I'll post a pic when I learn how.

Honestly.. bigger isn't better. These trucks with a 4" lift and 35s is the sweet spot. You can go higher and put bigger tires on but it really starts to become a massive financial cost.

Bigger and 700r4 don't really equate to a good combo. Sadly. Do you know what gears you have in there now?

Sent from the dust in front of you!

Thanks for the warm welcome. :)
My buddy is trying to talk me into doing a cummins swap. He did one in his burban. If that happens it will get all new drivetrain. Not sure on gears but guy I got it from said it's fine with 35s. :shrug: and I'll be having some beers after work. Cheers to the weekend. Lol. #BeatBama

Welcome...I have lits of friends in Ohio....I have to say its amazing how much state pride everyone from Ohio has.

Last year we rode to Columbus and my buddies bike broke down just outside of the city and a nice old man named Cooter took us in and introduced us to drive through liquor stores.
Long story short....I love people from OH

Lol I flew to Pittsburg PA once for work. We had some free time, so we were driving around and found a drive through smoke shop and bought a couple cigars to go with the scotch we bought earlier that night. The guy working the window was dressed up like Elvis. 2 days later I was watching the morning news in my hotel room and saw that they arrested an Elvis impersonator at that drive through smoke shop for selling coke out of the drive through window.

If I knew you were that close, I forgot. Our shop at home is in Clark county, right across from the fairgrounds.

Huh, I never realized that drive thru's aren't common in a lot of places. I guess that's cause I always get my beer at gas stations.
