Well with the 35"s i get no rubbing on full flex. I would however like to get 38s but that will involve some axle upgrades I dont have the money for right now. But thanks for the compliments.

Could someone give me some insight on upgrading my steering. For some reason it just doesn't look very safe, all my bushing are at crazy angles making them worn out pretty badly.

As far as the steering, I'm guessing you have a lot of bump steer. The best and really only way to upgrade the steering on a rig that big is to go Over the Knuckle. Search it and you'll find a ton of information. One question how does the lincoln locked rear handle on the pavement?
