Default New 4" Lift and 35's, just picked her up....

I will post more pictures later...it is starting to get dark. So far very happy with the lift. Tires are quiet for M/Ts. I am getting some steering wheel rattle between 55-65mph. Any thoughts? is this normal for 35's?

Drove 100 miles home. I've lost about 2mpg on average. Running about 16mpg on hwy. Truck's power is still there. Def. need to swap out the rotors/ upgrade to 2500 rotors if possible. Stopping time is not the same.

Your truck looks great, bet it turns plenty of heads...
Did you get an alignment after the lift? Most offroad shops and dealerships wont do the alignment, have to get it done elsewhere.

No it's not normal. 2500s have a different bolt pattern so the rotors won't fit

Bushwacker pocket Style Flares. I got them for a good price at truckaddons.com I had a local body shop paint them. Install took some time, but they fit perfect out of the box. Gives the truck a nice wide stance. My tires were originally 2 1/4 inches outside of the frame. Looked bad ***, but I didn't want to destroy my paint with rocks throw from the MTs. Hope this helps.

Wow I just looked on truckaddons.com and those flares are $454.00. I was expecting them to be a little cheaper than that.

Anyways your truck is looking very good!!
