Here you go Mike

Front 43" Rear 443/4" ( I also have rear airbags)

Great looking truck. I get mine back today from the installer.

thanks man! Looks really good. Is that rake being caused by the air bags? I plan to do air bags when I get my lift but certainly don't want that much rake. I like the look of these trucks better when they are level front to back.

Ive checked both the Toyo MT (on the Silvy with the BDS kit) and the Generals. Both are manufacture spec'd at 35" as actual diameter. I did also take the black fender outlines into account but I don't think that is it. At least I can't imagine that the black outlines would make that big of a difference. I notice the most difference in that it looks taller. Much taller

Agreed this looks taller for some reason when compared to other pictures of 4-4.5 lifts. 35's normally looked jammed on a 4" lift but this really looks great. If my lift project looks like this when I am done, I will be very happy. I may have to consider Generals, but not a fan of the red letters. I wonder if having larger wheels (like 20's) affects the overall appearance? This one is spot on in my opinion. Nice job!

How is the ride/noise with the Generals and or the air bags? I wasn't planning bags, but I do like the look of a little rake.

7" Fabtech, Stock 20's and 35" Lexani Mud Beast. Decided to keep the wheels stock for now to see what it looked like. So far im happy with it.

How did you use the stock wheels with your FabTech 7" lift? I thought for sure you'd have to go with an aftermarket wheel. My stock 20"s have a +27 offset and I was told that I'd definitely have to swap out my rims with a different offset rim if I lifted my truck...

Here is couple from this morning.

Brininger! I love your truck! In fact it's the exact same one as mine, other than the fact that I have a 2.25" Ready Lift leveling kit on mine. You obviously have a lift kit on yours. Please tell me what lift kit you are using--and what is the hight? I can't believe you have the factory rims on there! I love the factory rims! I just didn't know you could still use them on a lifted truck. What kit do you have that allows you to use the factory rims? The ones you and I have are a +27. Also, what tires are those? Size?...Thanks!

I wondered the same. Fabtech says factory bs wont work. I guess they were incorrect bc clearly this truck has them installed.

Finally got a set of tires on the truck. There a 35x12.50r17. Looks way better. I also found out that a rzr 800s will fit in an extra short box truck!!

I apologize for my previous post. I had originally thought that because that's what my shop told me. Upon further investigation when I had the wheels off to get my new ones on I discovered they put spacers on. The front has like a half inch or less spacer, very small. The rear is using like an inch and a half or 2 to line up with the front. I looked when I first got it installed but clearly missed the rear ones.

I love that truck, kinda wish it was a long box though. Then it would be like a 2014 version of my old K15
