Let's just say I used to enjoy getting creative with my parking at school when I had my 5spd 2dr... When you're making it climb a 2 foot concrete barrier you want 4lo.

Lots of tricks you can do to get that truck up higher. Crank up the torsion bars and throw some $20 help springs in the rear. Check out my truck, you'll see what I'm talking about.
