I think what went from early October has shifted to early April then to late April and now until May or maybe later. May is a little tricker with work, but I think I will wait until then to wear the tires down a bit more. At some point though, I am going to do the lift kit or I will have to stuck getting another set of tires and an alignment – so I better it do before then.When I was out picking up some work clothes, I parked down from a Silverado pickup like mine with 35s and a 6 inch lift. That really is an about perfect amount of lift. A 6” inch lift plus roughly 2” inches from the bigger tires brings you up to 8 inches. That might not seem like much, but when your talking about a 4×4 truck that already has decent ground clearance and a relatively high stance, that’s pretty high. Not sure if I’d want to go higher. People do sometimes go higher – and I want to have wheels with enough backspacing to ensure if I decide to go to 37s later on by adding a body lift, that’s always an option. But I’m not sure if I’d really want to do that.

Partly the delay is a money thing – this winter has been full of big heating bills and just everything else has got more expensive – part of it’s my schedule. I don’t want to fill up either of the last two weeks of April, as I am planning my first extended weekend camping trip then.

Likewise, I am putting off ordering the CB Radio and antenna for my truck for now. I think I know what I want, but I want to delay spending the money for a bit, and it’s just two darn cold to be out there working on my truck. When I install the radio, I plan to pull the battery and the windshield washer fluid container to see if I can find the leak and either replace the malfunctioning low fluid sensor or just short circuit it to fool the computer.. Maybe it’s the leak that’s causing a valid low fluid warning, but I have my doubts. Whatever it is, I should be able to fix it once the weather gets nice.
