Do you feel a difference in regards to acceleration or cruising speeds with the larger tires? If/when I go for a lift I think it'll definitely be a Weldtec. Do you have any pics?

Not a scientific response, but I haven't noticed a significant change in acceleration or cruising speed. But I'm also a fairly sedate driver when behind the wheel of my van--right lane & speed limit--as compared to when I'm driving my sedan. No issues accelerating onto the highway or from a stop. I haven't yet measured my MPG, but will post when I get around to that.

I got an Agile RIP kit put on my 2wd van which gave it around a 2.5" lift. Also put 285s on it and re-geared to 4.10. Very pleased with the results!

Not sure where you are in ca but if your close to Huntington Beach,you can drive it around if interested...

5.4 motor It’s a little bit more “lazy” with taller/wider heavier tire,if I’m feeling fast and furious I drive around town with overdrive off...

Looks great! What wheels and tires are you running?
