Yes the truck had 5.29s under it. it was all done at 60MPH. the 5.9 was a screamin at that speed. It has 22.5 wheels now and the drums are within a 1/4 inch from the wheel so I can't go to 19.5s. The 22.5s that are on it now are just over 41 inches tall the new ones are 36.5 tall.
Its almost too tall with the 3.70 gears and the old taller tires at the moment.
I'm the one that installed box on it, I rippeed the board down to 3/4 that go inbetween the frame and box. they compressed down to about 1/2 inch.
Instead of not for hire I'm gonna put

"Off
Roading
Vacactions"

on the back. I even thought about using red as the colors for R and V

The requirements for RV conversion are simplein ohio.
A place to sleep (bed), place to store cold food (fridge or cooler),
a place to warm food(range or oven),
A place to eat food (Table and chairs)
That is IT!! nothing more!! however these item mush be permantly attached to the vehicle. and you can't use the vehile for commerical use.
One more little thing Ohio say a RV conversion can't have a 5th wheel.
So many of them have gooseneck hitches instead.

Today before I went to work I bolted on my extra 50 gallon fuel tank.
