You might also look into steering components to help keep those big tires driving straight, like steering stabilizer, steering box stabilizer, rock solid bushing, etc.
Thanks for the compliment and info, its dark and rainy here so when the weather is better ill post some more pics.

Dark and rainy here too.... I'm just glad it wasn't snow, would would have a couple feet by now.

Truck looks good. Great job on that! Might wanna consider re-gearing though, the v6 is gonna struggle with those tires. Or, maybe a v-8 conversion?

That looks good! I have 3'' spacers 3'' blocks and 3'' body lift and 33'' BFG A/T and i need bigger tires. Your truck looks the perfect height and size for those tires. Sometimes i wish i didn't have 4WD tho...... mostly when i glance down at the gas gauge or i'm filling her up.

You should be able to do a LOT better than that. My 3/4 ton does...... I am around 12 in town, and 16 to 18 on the freeway.
