Default goin up...

went from the 33" baja claws to 38.5" 4 wheel RVT tires. found these hangin out in a scrapyard, $200 for the whole set with wheels (they came on 6 lug chevy wheels, but were rusted pretty bad so i tossed em).

only problem now is they shake the crap out of the truck over 30 mph. wayyyy out of balance...i was actually catchin a little air at about 35....sooo i got a buddy that can balance em for me later this weekend and i should be set.

anddd i'll post some pics of a couple of other mods.
i finally got around to painting my switch/relay box. only took a few minutes to get it out and in.
also added a little fire extinguisher i had layin around in the back.

i also added a switch in the ashtray that eliminates my brake lights...good for night time excursions...

also, in a couple weeks the truck will be goin up another 5 inches...of course, i'll provide pics, and maybe some action shots

Looks damn good, going up another 5" is gonna require 40's

38.5" is pushing the D44 lol, careful for not to much carnage

ram sport...i actually went back to the junkyard to pick up a set of 40 by 17 inch wide ground hawgs they had, but i looked em over and they were no good.

muddy...all my friends have everything i need for the other 5". all i had to order was a drop pitman, which is on the way.
goin 5" SJ coils, longer control arms, doin a shackle reversal in the back, and all the other little stuff that needs to get done.


still with 3.55's
my friend runs 39.5's on 3.55's, and he drives 100 miles a day, easy. no issues at all
