Got my tb's cranked. I used my bottle jack to lift my front of the truck up and I did this because I know that when my truck is level the bottle jack just barely fits under my cross member so when I was done I put the jack back under and there was about 2in of space between the jack and the cross member and I can tell the big difference. I dont have before pics but I do have older ones and ill have to get new better ones. The 32's are getting put on tomorrow!!!

Looks better, I could tell the back sat a little low, but it's not bad. Definitely better though. I can't wait to see it with the new tires on it. I thought you said you bought 33s?

Nope 32/1150/15's I was going to go with 33's but I decided 32s is good enough.

Nice, I'm going to be putting 32s on this summer as well. Can't wait to see a nice before and after picture. Still trying to decide on what tires, maybe you can influence me lol.

So far they are awesome I haven't used 4wd yet I tested my old tires in my yard and I needed 4wd when I came to a stop now I don't. My truck feels higher too even tho it was about the same with the old tires
