Welcome to the forum and that is a sweet ride. Do your tires rub at all? Could you squeeze bigger ones on? I want to get blocks and do a TB crank, maybe a body lift. Now I get to see what it looks like!

If im backing up and have the wheel all the way cranked, it rubs on the frame just a lil bit. i dunno if anything bigger would fit without alot of mods.

Nice truck man, how'd you lift it? That will be a real sweet truck once the 318 goes in her.

I just noticed that your tires are 33x12.5 I assumed they were 10.5. No i think they are big enough
