Its not often that I find a truck thats lifted and rubbered just how I like. Im using this guys truck for a template of my lift this summer.



Only thing I would change on the lift is 16 inch rims.

Anyone with any thoughts no matter how big or small please chime in.

I want to hear pros and cons before I empty my wallet.

Oh yeah the guy says he gets around 12.3 mpg ....I say holy crap... thats what I get now unlifted!

Must be the new gears he has in it.

 

Works for me, that's a good all around set up. about the same size I want for mine. Sad thing is right now I park my truck next to my wife's Chevy, she's got a 5 inch lift with 35s. I can't let her have a bigger truck now can I.

 

The only concern I would have is not alot of articulation with that big rubber. Does not look like alot of clearance between the tire and the fender.

 

ZEEK your back..long time no post! get that hyperpac yet?

that truck looks DAMN good.. love the color!!!!! i agree the lift and rubber combo is bout damn near perfect... IMO it could go just a smidg higher or about an inch or 2 less on the rubbs... other then that its a pretty machine

 

hey where they hell have you been. look at all the stuff i did to my truck. ill send you a pic when i get it.

 

too much tire not enough lift...my 2 cents

 

agreed.. just a smigen

 

8" is alot for a daily driver, but I dunno if you plan on using yours as a daily driver though The 38's do seem a bit large on there

With the tires thats probably around 12" higher then stock. Thats a long ways to be constartly crawling into your truck. I'm 6' 3" and that would still suck to crawl up into. But if its just for off roading or screwing around it, HIGHER IS BETTER

 

See thats why this forum is so sweet. You all brought up things I didnt think about. Thanks I got a picture of a truck I saw on ebay. Ill link it here and see what you guys think about it. Its running 35's. And yes tani I have been away. Doing the family thing with a long vaction. Post up some pics when you can - Or email them to me and Ill add them to my website in the readers ram section. If I put them on my site you can link them to this forum. The sound domain site rocks but the pictures are too small. They cant give people gigantor pics with the amount of volume they have. I can give you jumbo mama pics if you send me something nice.


see ya
