put them on last night at my buddies shop. i really like how they fill the wheel wells.

i have some add a leafs coming and im gonna crank up the torsion bars, tires only rub a little when the wheel is turned all the way and you hit a good bump as it is right now.

 

Cool! You need to get a close up shot of the tires.

 

Those aren't the stock rims are they? I didn't think you could put 11.5 on stockers.

 

ill get some close ups when i clean the wheels. they have the smeared wet brake dust look still


the wheels are from a newer dakota or durango. the stock ones are only 15x6

 

You could put an 11.5 on stockers if you didnt want to air down. I had a set of 12.5's on my stockers for abit. Not ideal......but it works in a pinch.

 

when i got the truck it had the stock wheels with cooper 31x10.5 but they bulged to much for my liking

 

good choice! your gonna love the add-a-leafs over the block and extended shackle setup. the ride is the same but you you stick like glue to the road at high speed through the twists and turns, and you can carry a heavier load.

 

yeah im not a fan of the blocks or shackles.

if the rear ends up high then ill get a set of forged 2" keys

 

You may want to crank your factory keys up before you buy aftermarket keys. What gives you the lift is how tight those keys twist the torsion bars (the preload placed on the bars). The factory keys can give you 2 inches of lift by maxxing out the bolts. The aftermarket keys work by changing the orienation of the hex hole, so you can have the same amount of preload with less turns of the bolt, which means if you max the bolts they will go higher. Honestly though, you can't max the aftermarket keys cause you'll hit the bump stops long before then.

 

oh crap! thats why i broke a 3\4 inch strongarm in half after 2 inches of lift (i think a long pipe over the arm and 2 guys pushing may of help cause the damage). by the way i put 2 extra leafs on each side at the rear and it only took it up almost exactly 2 inches, if you torque the front up 2 inches you should be level. i also found out with extra leafs that you won't have rear wheel "hop" in the deep snow.
