Default Well.... Here's the pics!!!

Wow!!... that is allI have to say, I definitely love my truck now. I think the size is finally perfect. For the people who haven't read the post leading up to this one, here is the low down...

Tuff Country 6" spring lift w/ tuff country 8000 nitrogen shocks (from topguncustomz)
Pro Comp Alloy 17x8" 4.5" b.s. 7089's cast blast (from 4wheelparts)
Pro Comp Xtreme Mud-Terrain 37x12.50r17's (from 4wheelparts)
Pro Comp black splined lug nuts (from 4wheelparts)

...in case anyone is wondering who hasn't looked into this before, total cost was $3079.00

The wheels where just the right offset, and matched with the 12.50 wide tire, there is no rubbing anywhere, and I don't anticipate any even when flexing pretty hard.

I have before, during, and after pics. Let me know what ya'll think...

Before, just leveled in the front with a 2" leveling spacer from topguncustomz.

6" lift, after I installed it... yes, I put it on in that driveway laying on an old rug.

Here is the rear end, just a 4" block.

Here is a picture of the front end with the new lift.

New control arms.

Putting the new tires on, the truck no longer goes in the garage.. just one end at a time .

Lift and tires are on!








Welp, there goes $127.90 @ 3.999 per gallon [:@].

Just a little light flexing in front of my wife's work .




Here are the next two mods (besides line-x in the bed)



That's it!!

Thanks guys!!

I just realized how bad the flexin pictures look. Just to clarify it is more than just a curb. The truck is in the parking lot and I am standing on the atm drive up lane that is about 12" higher than the parking lot, plus the height of the curb 4-5" or so. I would say the passenger front tire is about 16" higher than than the driver side. Not much, but it was the only thing I saw while I was out driving around takin pics .

No need to clarify on the flexing pic... Can definitely tell how tall that curb is. I'm jealous too!!!
