Talking lifted dually, BDS long arm, skyjacker track bar installed

i need to get some more pics, and will soon, but here is what i have for now, (BTW this is the womans truck )

the track bar i really like compared to the stocker, however its almost too long, they claim it to fit 4-7" of lift, i put a 4.5 coil in and i had to remove the jam nut on the heim and run the heim all the way in and adjust the upper agjustment all the way over and its pretty much center,

the bds long arm kit was a little different but it works, its just a simple bracket and the lower arms, i was able to drop the upper arms into the lower arm mount on the frame, tho the lower long arm and the stock lower mount look pretty close, we bounced it all around and could not get them too hit, however it did push the axle foward witch was my main intent, it also looks very close to the sky jacker track bar, but once again, havent been able to get it to hit, and i installed new sway links from ebay, about $90, also have the sway links on my mega cab for about 10k miles and love them

I disagree. I prefer small black rims and big meaty tires!

Hey now, who ever said anything about rim size? We're simply talking color, look at my truck in my sig, plenty of meat. If I could fit smaller rims I would! I'm not a big fan of big rims on trucks (I'm an off-road type of guy). I just personally don't like how black rims look against the black of the tires. Like it needs to be broken up a bit.

Cool truck, even cooler that your lady drives it. How are those 37's on the road and in the wet? I've heard a lot of people saying they're terrible but wear like iron.
