Hey Romeosoldier03...do you think by looking at your truck that there isenough room for a37" tire on the factory 20's? It is hard as hell to find a 36" tire...most are either 35's or 37's

he has stock rims, 36" iroks, 2.5" leveling kit, i think its from ready lift and 3" body lift from performance accesories and 1.25 spacers for his wheels. all of his ride hights are listed above. front end wheel well sits almost 46" of the ground and the rear is almost 47", but like i said he lists that above.

Yo, sweet looking truck and a nice "street" setup. But when u called some1 out on paying 2,100 for a lift its b/c its a true 5'5 suspension lift. People who wheel need that extra play in the suspension, and the problom is with ur body lift you can probly see the frame hardcore from the side along with a gab between the hitch and all that. You can change that but just more work. Also you got 37's and with a 3' suspension liftso you cant flex them that good. Its a ok set up, just not a off road set up.

But in all honstly your truck looks sick and great job.

Very nice job, the stance looks very menacing!!! I dig trucks with a menacing stance...

and MMStar: Why are you amazed that it's a body lift? 3" of lift (or 5+" with the level kit) is still 3" of lift, no matter if it's body or suspension. The look is the same. Where the suspension lift is worth it's extra cost is in it's handling, especially off road. Wheretire fitment and looks is the concern, a body lift is just as efficient as a suspension lift. I've had three trucks that I installed 3" body lifts on and if not for the fact that I've hit 40 now, and am getting too old andbeat upto be bounced all around off road, I'd have done another one on my current truck.
Hell, now that I've picked up a daily driver, I may just add 3" of body lift to the Rancho 4" suspension lift -- wouldn't that be killer?[8D]

WOW what the hell happened since the last time i logged on??? I WAS NOT CALLING ANYONE OUT....i was simply making a price comparison.....geez.....thanks for all the compliments but come on guys why the drama? misunderstanding i guess.......yes it is a "street" setup, but I've already crawled out of some mud that other lifted trucks couldn't....the lift is nothing...it's all gearing and tires in my opinion....to answer someone elses question....I was just thinking today if I could get 37's on there....it would be sooo dam tight....I think a little bit of trimming of the fender well would be needed but i believe it would fit...are there any special pics u all want me to take and post??????
