4x4 Off Topic Thread
hahahah I started mine for the first time since we went to Spike's in what.. November?

Haven't posted it yet but I picked up a new Eco-Turd to daily so that I could go ahead and plan/build the Explorer how it should be. I'm considering just SAS'ing with a D30 since they're everywhere and cheap to fix when they break. Aaaand it will break.

Looking for a nice condition, low miles Cherokee. Holler. Also, any reputable shops in the 757 to go to should I decide to buy a stock one to purchase and have installed at?
Ok, I fixes my heat issue, 
With hunting season coming to a close, I will be doing alot of work on the Burban.
One thing that I will be doing is a lift. I am going 6" with 35x12.5x15 tires. I have read a lot of things and people are criticizing others on the brand of lift they get and what they use it for, saying they will end up breaking something if they are not careful. Now I am not trying to be to rough on he Burban, but I do get it off road often. So with that said, pleasse help me out on opinions on a lift for what I will be doing.
Main purpose for the truck is Hunting and Fishing. It is mainly on pavement, but I take it of road for hunting and occasional mud. I will be pulling a 22' boat as well during the summer.
It's a 1990 Chevy Suburban.
Lift i like is, Tuff country, all spring.
Will I a raised steering arm, or have to modify driveshaft, or get a Tcase drop?
Will I blow out the 3.73 gears with 35" tires, or should they last a while?
Any insight would be appreciated.

If the vehicle is mostly for towing, keep it lower. Depending on the terrain you wheel, most don't need but so much ground clearance. So it's hard for me to give you advice unless you give a tad more detail of what you need, are looking for.
Towing will not be often, occasionally pulling a boat to the river, or the 15' trailer of decoys. I really want to lift the Burban, just because it is what I want, and for getting in some swamps while duck hunting. I will eventually put larger gears in it, but it is not on my to do list this year.
If you want to do it right, stay away from lifts like Tough Country. They'll usually ride like shit and give you the bare essentials. You'll probably have to correct your steering on these type of trucks but research it more. 3.73 will be ok. I ran them in my Jeep with 35's and although not setup like your truck motor wise, you should be ok. 4.11 or 4.56 would be better.
