Lifted

DwelveAT · March 23, 2010

Hey guys as I stated a while ago prior to my deployment and after, I was getting truck lifted. Well the time has come and as you read this; the install should be complete in roughly 2 hours and my truck ready for pick up at 17:30 today. If there any is light out still, I will try to snap some quick shots of it and post them asap, if not as promised I will snap them tomorrow when there is plenty of light and post them up right away. Pretty damn excited about seeing the ride in its new appearance.

Alright guys here are the pictures of the truck that I promised. Bare with me, the truck is still dirty and needs a serious bath, been busy with work and with family, for any possible questions asked ill answer the basics right off hand. The wheels are 18x9 MHT Fuel Offroad Gauge Machined Black with 0+ offset 5" backspace. The front wheels stick out roughly one inch as the rear I want to say possible if anything half an inch. The tires are Toyo Open Country M/T 35x12.50, and with all the driving ive done today since picking it up last night, there isnt any rubbing issues what so ever. The lift is the Fabtech Basic 6" System. For the bull bar, I ordered the Aries Black Powdered coated 3" tube which required cutting the front lower valance. It did bug the crap out of me doing the cutting, but it worked out pretty well. The bug deflector is a Stampeded Smoked color one. I am hoping I get to wash it today and debage everything except the All Terrain badges and Z71 stickers. I took these pictures at my local storage unit which the truck was sitting on a small slope, so before anyone assumes my ass end is sagging its not, the truck is completely leveled if viewed from a flat service. Enjoy and please comment.

Thanks guys for all the compliments, took me a year to get it where its at right now. As for the lights up front, as of right now I dont have any plans for it, I figure since the truck sits high now and just riding around town I average at least 2 flashes from other drivers, that once I turn on the fog lights, should light up the road like an aircraft does at night with it's lights. Dont really do to much offroading, but I will take the truck off on some dirt paths when I pass through Ft Bragg to fire up the 4x4 system since they have a huge reservation for the air drops and training.
