whats up my new fam, just copped a 05 eddie bauer in wedgewood blue metallic, the truck is all stock and in very good condition, dont wanna do too much to it , but i will do the sound and a strong possibility the rims, was thinking about 26s but from reading 2 posters threads here they both say the 24s b/c of gas and things like that, and also the system, im a do a double din pioneer navi head unit with some seperates in the front door and some regular 6x8 kickers, and i really didnt want the box in the back since i have a lil s10 blazer thats got all that in it, i just wanted to replace the stock sub with a kicker, get a 4channel, and a mono amp and tie it all together, hopefully the read dvd unit still works when i do all this, oh and i was thinking about a suede headliner as well

24s will run your gas too...i would suggest a programmer to adjust tire size so you can adjust braking and possibly gas mileage...i have 24's and using superchips vortex 1950 that has Gas Saver option along with other performance options...definitely helps...

i'll eventually go up to 26s...turn radius is the same...ride, from what some say on here is the same as 24s...i know a couple of people with 26s...ride is still nice...i have air suspension so that may help me on comfort as well....
