i like the way it looks with 40's on 24's... it gives it more proportion to me. if you ran a 20'' rim with a 40'' tire, the rim would look too small. i think this combo is perfect. the rims and tires dont look too small or too big on eachother. (IMO)

Just be my personal taste...
I know what you mean man. Hell, if i could afford it I would go 26s and 38s. I need more metal than rubber but cant do rubber bands because i still tow and pull sometimes. I wanna do my BL but know my Warn setup is holding me back but I dont wanna sell my Warn setup because ill never get another like it. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

alright so this whole thing really has me thinking... By adding a quicklift and a BL, how much more height does that give? 6.5" up front? So I'd need 3.5" blocks in the rear? I'm not sure what all the quicklift actually lifts. If I understand right, it doesnt really change the CV angle either? What about ride quality... does the truck still have as much flex?

Man I'm so tempted to do this... I'd have almost 10" lift and be able to fit 38's or 40's without too much added expense (all the expense is in the wheels/tires which i'll be getting anyway).

The biggest thing stopping me now is, my truck still fits in my garage (might clear by less than an inch, but still fits). With any more lift or even bigger tires the truck wont fit...which means it goes outside in the North Dakota winter...

it doesnt ride like a stock truck ill tell you that much its pretty stiff..but on one of the NEW Louisiana roads that doesnt have 70,000,000 potholes or cracks every 3 feet its not too bad
