Default a few before and after pics of my truck...

I got my truck just a little over a year ago, and here are the results of my hard work. I have since I have gotten it, painted the roof and hood, lifted it 2" put on wheels from a durango, and 31x10.50 BFG all terrains, and built a light bar that would allow me to keep my tool box.

Next on the to do list is to make a custom front bumper for a hydrulic winch and putting in a lockrite in the rear diff. Im also planning on building a light slide in camper so I can take it to Alaska in a year.

the backspacing on the durango rims seems to be pretty close to what I had, they do stick out a little more, but their also 2" wider then what I originaly had, so I expected them to stick out a little bit. I also went from 235/75R15's to 31X10.50R15 so their wider too, so it worked out quite well.
