VERY nice.
Glad to see it's not a pic those rediculous (sp?) 24" wheels and narrow sidewalls.
My truck would be envious if I showed it these pics.


Question for you,do you gret much driveline vibration in 4wd?
I bought my truck with a 4" lift already on it.I've got to degree the front axle as the steering wheel will not return to center,but,there's already a vibration.
The joints and such are new (complete new front shaft actually).

i guess i should of said new tires and rims my old rims were 16.5 eagle alloys and the new ones are 17 in helos

if i wanted to i bet i could get away with some bigger tires without gearing, the jump from 35's to 37's didnt slow me down as much as i thought

When I 1st put them on the truck was kinda squirrelly/squirmy (can`t think of a better way to describe it) I was told it was due to the large tread blocks. Sure enough after a couple hundred miles that went away as the tires wore in a bit.
