Default Downsize my lift?

I have a TeraFlex 3" Lift Kit w/ Shocks. It is badass. I also have rear upper and lower control arms (Rusty's) and front and rear track bars (TeraFlex).

My original plan included getting 37's to run with this lift.

It has been six months since I put the lift on, and I still haven't bought tires. The Air Force is moving me in two weeks, and I think the wife would kill me if I bought tires now.

I also have (sitting in a box) a TeraFlex 2.5" BB that I never installed.

I don't see myself getting new tires before the stock KM's wear out, so...

My question is: What should I do?

-Keep the 3" lift and sell the BB
-Sell the 3" lift and put the BB on
-Sell the 3" lift and the BB, and go back to stock

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Well if your just Relocating, I would just Keep the 3" lift and Sell the BB! Like with me i'm waiting for stocks to wear out before buying new tires! I think if you take the lift off you will just end up buying another soon! once you get it you cant go back :P but its up to you! Besides i'm sure there is wheeling where ever your going! trust me i'm an ex squid !

Yeah, I'm going to Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, NV.

So, I'm sure there is good wheeling there.

Since I'm just down from you, I could help you out and haul off the 3"

Put on the bb and get tires for that lift and then you don't have to deal with wife on the big list of other expensive upgrades and repairs in the future.

Vegas area you will need some lift. Lots of rocks and desert to explore.
