I see bigger tires in your near future. Could you snap some shots from inside the tire with it at full lock? It looks like you have a ton of room there, but it's hard to tell for sure.

Naw I'm good :lol:, I really do like the look you got right now. What you thinking for new wheels/tires. I think you said you wanted trail grapplesrs....what wheels:dunno:

Not really sure on the wheels yet. I want to stick to mostly black, but not entirely black. It'll be a little while before I need tires, and after buring the cash for this last bit of work, I need the time to rebuild funds.

Looks AWESOME! :thumbs:

How's the ride?

It rides great! I'm guessing my stock hardware was worn pretty well at this point, almost 55k miles, but still, the difference is quite noticeable. Going over speed bumps is much better.

I haven't messed with the settings on the shocks yet, right now they're all set at 5.

I, sir, demand many more pics of the truck lifted. :D

Looks fantastic.

Done. See below.

I agree, but man, bigger tires = BIG $$$! Last tire I looked at was $470 each! There's plenty of room, I'll take some shots with the wheels in various positions.


More pics!

So I've been looking at new wheels that won't require me to run spacers. My current wheels have 6 3/8 BS, or an offset of +35

I really like these: Liquid Metal Magma (Black)

problem is it's a 20x8.5 wheel, so not as wide as I'd like, plus the BS is 5.73, which still may be too much.

There are these: Liquid Metal Gatlin (Black)
#2

These are 20x9 and have an offset of +10, or a BS of 5.4", which would give the same look as what I've got now with the spacer.
