Looks really nice. Was there any cutting of your frame or was it just straight bolt on?

Looks awesome regardless!
According to the EVIC I've lost about 2 mpg. But I haven't corrected my speedo for the 35 inch tires, so I've actually lost less.

Yes they are Dick Cepek tires. At lows speeds you can feel them rumble a little bit, at higher speeds they are pretty smooth.

I looked over the installation instructions and didn't see anywhere the frame needed to be cut.

The ride is a little stiffer the stock, but other then that its great. It is very smooth with no drive line vibrations that I can tell.

Hey, how is your rancho lift holding up?
What size rims did you get and what is the backspacing/offset?

The lift is holding up great, no problems whatsoever. The rims are 18x10s with a -4.5 backspacing.

You shouldn't have any problems, mine has been fine since '05. I did have a tie rod end that came with the kit go on me last year, but I called Rancho directly to buy one and they sent me not just the one to replace the bad one, but a new one for the other side as well, AT NO COST! Great company to deal with.

BTW: I like the tire choice too...

It's almost like you found a random house with a nice backdrop and snapped some photos. Haha, just kidding. Nice looking truck dude. I would like to wake up every morning, look out my window and see that view!
