Axle shafts. Mud? It's not even built for street use. Its a cute show truck, but not something that really translates into daily driver reality.

And he's asking about rim size for tires on a 2.5" lift, comments about your 40s and future 46's seem like just another cry for attention - not information usefull to the question.

You dont know me man so don't sit there and act like you know what I do with my truck. I drive my truck all the time. DAILY! Why can I not drive my truck daily? Do you think it was a crappy build that we didnt do something right? All it is is a big tall truck with big tires but everything has been built so it can be driven no problems. Im about to drive it 9 hours straight to Houston in a few weeks. Its been programmed with a diablo trinity for correct tire size and tune. It has the correct 4.88 gears in it and it runs like a striped a$s ape. It doesn't matter the lift. He was asking about wheel/tire sizes from guys with lifts. People were mentioning 37s and up go with 20s and below go with smaller. I chimed in what we run on 40s as alot of people run 22s with 40s. Believe me, I dont need to "cry out for attention", the truck gets plenty of that on its own. I take it down to the childrens home and let the kids play around it and give them rides. Had it in local parades as I was asked to do and give out candy to the kids. I let companies keep it for a day or weekend to sit out in front of their shops for grand openings. I do plenty of good with it for others, so don't be an effn *** when you dont know anything about me.

This whole little d*ck-swinging contest not withstanding, could you post some pics of your rig? It sounds pretty sweet!

Thanks!

Thanks. Since putting the headers and exhaust and intake and reprogramming it with the diablo tuner it actually dont get that bad of gas mileage. Its around 13. For awhile it was down to 9.8mpgs.

What a bunch of urban reknobs.A real 4x4 needs the bigger sidewall of the 17"
for rim protection and airing down capabilities.They're also a whole lot cheaper!
In some cases over 100.00 cheaper per tire.Take it from experience you can't go
wong with BFG AT KO's.Stay away from the PRO COMP Extreme AT's-hard to balance
at half life
