Looks good, but I bet wheels and tires would make it look better...

I'll get wheels and tires when tires need replacing. SlavO said he wanted these wheels if I get rid of 'em.

As for the step lights, it may have to be postponed till either tomorrow evening or next weekend unless I find time during the week. Wet and cold outside and I don't wanna be on the geound. Plus I have the trailer hooked up for a 300 mile trip to go get my buddies stuff at his house and get his toolbox from work. Moving back up this way finally and found a better paying job so all works out for him.

I did empty the catch can today after about a thousand miles of having it on the truck. Looked like coffee with a bunch of creamer lol. Gonna set my trip this time for it and see how many miles I actually put on it. Hit it with some brake clean so it's nice and clean now. We'll see how much it collects on the trip tomorrow while towing...

Thats going to take a year or more lol. ... your truck would look great with some bigger tires but u kno dat... look at the bfg ko2 275 65 20. I wish i could've got those

I'm undecided if I'm gonna keep it leveled or lift it. More than likely just keep it leveled because now I plan on keeping my other truck, putting my good trans in it and get some new tires and use it as my play toy/ hunting truck. Unsure of what tires. Another member got the new toyo R/T tires and they look nice

SlavO · March 20, 2015

The R/T. Look awesome. But i kno how awesome the new ko2 are so it will be tough for me to change when i get a lift... the at3 are nice to... 12,xxx miles on them and the tire rotation guy at the shop said they still look new... made my day. Brand new his words. He thinks this will last 70,xxx miles

Texas Husker · March 21, 2015

I agree with Slavo, the KO2's in 275/65/20 are slick. If I had 20's they would be my choice. I'm trying my hardest to hold out for more sizes on the KO2's as I really like them and the reviews. Copper ST Maxx as a backup. They are a good looking tire too and the reviews are pretty positive.

Nah too big of a wheel for my taste. Plus with a toyo with 10 ply it would ride like hell. stick with dem 20's [emoji106] [emoji108]

I'd take a 20" in some cases, but mainly I'd go no bigger then an 18". Unless I had a 6" lift.....

Mike1220 · March 23, 2015

I think these new trucks look really good on a 20 but an 18 looks good too. My vote goes 20 though.

LongrangeLauber · March 23, 2015

Lifted or stock, she gonna sit on dem 20's. I'm really itchin for a BDS 6" coilovers lift... the struggle is real

as you and a few others know, I've been back and forth between a 4" or a 6" lift for quite some time now, and I am thinking now and finally boiling down to almost definitely going with a 4" lift, either BDS or Zone. My vote goes that if you lift it, keep it a mild lift at a 4" w/ 33s or 35s. I think you should do a 4" w/ 35s cause I think it looks great on these trucks. So many ppl have a 6" so you'll kinda just mix into the crowd with a 6"

Plus you got your other truck riding so high. No need to put this one up really high too.

just my $0.02

EDIT: I mean hey, look at how good this thing looks

LongrangeLauber · March 23, 2015

If I do do it, it will be the 6" coilover. Smooth riding and from past experience I want the extra 2" of lift lol. That's why my other truck is so tall hahaha
