Default Some offroading pics with flex.

Here are some offroading pics from yesterday. The rear tire is completly off the ground by an inch or 2. I wish I was able to get videos but it got dark quick.

Modified but mostly stock.

The rear is stock top leafs with the lower leafs from a Ram 2500. That is what give me my rear lift, no cheater blocks.

The front has the indexed torsion bar keys (lift keys).

And 33 x 12.5 R15 BFG TA's

Ya 33x12.5R15. Yes it is stock wheels. 15x6. I powder coated them black a while back. Yes you could put bigger on the wheels. As far as wide yes you go more,12.5 may be the Max. The shop was willing to try, others may not. As far as tall it depends on what lift, ect you got.

LOL! Ya it is normal now. That is what happeneds when the bed is frame mounted and the cab has rubber mounts, and not to mention the frame flex. I wish the frame was fully boxed and not just the front section, who knows how much it would weigh though.

Here is one more pic. It is at work, but you can see the mud line. Just above the winch mount. It was a blast. There was one ditch I got into that I got stuck in. I had my friend come in front so I could winch out. Then I noticed it wasn't in 4wd. LOL. Shifted and it pulled it self out easy.
