Do you think the springs will settle a bit?

Man, I hope the hell so. I'm already planning to fab a ladder on the other swing out.

Looks great, Jeff. Makes mine look tiny.

Curious to see what the MPG's are with the bigger tires. Have ya figured it out yet?
Do you notice a difference on ride / bumpsteer with the adjustable control arms?

Me too. I just filled up and set the trip. When I drive it, I try not to get over 2500 rpm accelerating and keep it around 2k (65ish) cruising. We will see.
Ride is solid. I am having to learn what driving with a lifted rig is all about. At 40mph to 47, I get a wobble in the steering, so I think I need to get an alignment.
Jeff, did you re-gear, too?

Yes. 4.88
time for some 40s
Wow, sweetness. That swallows the 37's.

I got the AC running but it will not cool below 78. The person who charged it is a HVAC guy and thinks there is a restriction. It's running 210lbs on the high side and the site glass is cloudy. We put in what the sticker said. I may just take it to a shop to let them check it out. To get the compressor clutch engaged, I used the black wire from the below connecter on the passenger fender. Note, it will not engage until the system pressurized.

Mr. Freeze (David Peacock) at 512-358-1385. He's in south Austin and has been used by other members of the club.
I have used mr. Freeze as well with good luck on my old mini truck.

Mileage Update
Finished my first tank with 37s and 4.88s. 11.5 city in a hilly terrain. I ran 265 miles and put in 20.8 gallons. My speedo is fast by 5mph so I subtracted 20 miles off the total. I also ran the ac 2 times.
I also put on a new ac compressor. The rebuilt one blew out. I had Mr. Freeze charge it and check things out. He knows what he is doing and would recommend him.
Next chapter: Exhaust.

You happy with those fuel numbers? Is that close to what you were expecting?

Jeff,
Does your ac ON input go to the GM computer so it idles up and such? How does it work for you? I got my A/C kickin, but man I'm wondering about the a/c input. I'm testing that today. I also have three wires to hook up today and I'll go test the cruise control.
I cut the three wires on the steering column for the factory cruise switch. See, Toyota uses a "ground" type system, and GM uses an "12v" on system. Meaning when the system sees 12v it activates, and for toyota when it sees ground, it activates through the cruise control ecu. I hooked up the upper brake switch and man alive how it changes things with converter lock up etc. I've also changed my shift points and lock up times etc. I firmed up the shifts etc, and I REALLLLLY like it.
Yours is looking real good!
*EDIT*
This is taken directly from the HVAC description section of the manuals. I have access to ALLDATA Pro, so I have every wiring diagram available.
"The manual HVAC system is a dual temperature zone system. There are 2 separate air temperature levers. Moving the air temperature levers to the upward position diverts most of the airflow through the heater core, which increases the outlet air temperature. Moving the air temperature levers to the most downward position diverts most of the airflow around the heater core, which decreases the outlet air temperature. The air temperature offset can be as much as 16.7°C (30°F) .
Pressing the A/C button enables the HVAC control module to request A/C compressor engagement and turn ON the A/C button LED. The HVAC control module sends a class 2 message to the powertrain control module (PCM) for A/C compressor engagement. The PCM will provide a ground for the A/C compressor relay enabling it to close its internal contacts to send battery voltage to the A/C compressor clutch coil. The A/C compressor diode will prevent a voltage spike, resulting from the collapse of the magnetic field of the coil, from entering the vehicle electrical system when the compressor is disengaged. Defrost and Defog mode selections will request A/C operation but not turn ON the A/C LED.
The following conditions must be met in order for the A/C compressor clutch to turn ON:
The ambient air temperature is above 4°C (40°F) .
The A/C low pressure switch signal circuit is grounded.
The A/C refrigerant pressure sensor parameter is less than 2957 kPa (429 psi) .
The PCM receives an A/C request from the HVAC control module.
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is less than 121°C (250°F) .
The engine RPM is more than 550 RPM .
The throttle position is less than 100 percent ."
