Very nice, I'm getting ready to run the same rim with the same size tire. Did you have to use any spacers in the front? I'm not going to put mine on till I change the rear our for the disc brake Dana 80 I have and the front studs for 9/16"

Thanks guys, i realy think it completly changed the look (and ride) of the truck actualy the hardest part was the front springs, they were dearched badly, me being to cheap to get a set made i used 3 plys from the rear set i had and it leveled it out. (has a total of 7 plys up front now) the max w/o getting new U bolts and studs. i still wanna add another 1" yet. it does hit the drag link on hard rights but oh well ya cant have it all. it did have 235's on it, so it sits much taller now. if anybodys interested in the adapters PM me and i'll send ya the link.

Scott, you can post the link to where you found them (as long as you're not the one selling them).
