Thats the way I look at it, atleast there isnt any other damage besides the grille and bumper! Im very thankful, and I know that wouldnt be fun! I'm studying hard and taking classes outside school just so I dont fail, its hard but it will be worth it.

Dude that sucks! I'm sorry bro!

If you're looking to turn 39s and actually use the truck as intended (which you obviously do) you're going to be better off starting to collect parts for a SAS than spending time and money buying and installing a body lift only to run those tires on stock 1/2 ton suspension and steering.

Never mind the added stress just from turning the larger tires, but the suspension geometry of our IFS is only designed for ~30" tires and there's really no way to change that. It means whenever the suspension cycles, a lot of force is being applied to the ball joints that they weren't intended to handle. It's worse on high traction surfaces and the less sidewall you have.

I know you're on a budget, I just think you'd be a lot happier in the long run with a solid axle.
