Was trying to quote this....what sled deck is that?

bought it used, i *think* it's a Denali deck on there 7 ft, aluminum extendable sides. 

 

Bhurt, i forgot to answer your height question....  my driveway was still uneven / snowy but it's about 45.5 inchs front, 46.5 back,  that's with the deck on the truck for a few hundred pounds... it might bounce up a little more on the tail end.

Aron, thank you for the info. Will go look them up as that would be a great deck.

well...  i took out the level kit, and put in a full BDS 4.5 lift kit with some Fuel rims on the same 325/65/r18 tires,   weather has been terrible for months and still snow here mid april (hence the snowmobile from the weekend.... lol)   

 

later this summer i'll post a picture when it's not a ball of dirt

+1...is that about like a +25 offset?  I know my wheels are +18 and stock is +44.  I'm assuming those are metric numbers and the +1 is in inches?

 

Tempted to do something like that, but I have to use my truck for plowing.

It’s leveled. They actually went too high with the keys. My cv joints are concerning me. But they are 295/60-20

hey Skeld,  the +1 is a +1      works out to a 5.04 backspacing with calculator, but yeah direct comparison to stock of +44, these are +1 with 5.04 backspace which is not even in the range recommended by BDS... but have found multiple others running that size on youtube etc... so gave it a shot (and my dealer confirmed with BDS it is a size that will work)   they only hang out an inch or so... which isn't to shabby for a 12.8 inch wide tire, truck sits in the yard till it's sledding time or Camping time so i wanted it to look good but definitely keep it practical,  No idea how it would work if i put a plow mount on it to be honest... i have thought about it, i got a good size driveway / yard i'm still contemplating getting a lawn tractor with thrower or a plow lol.

Anyone here have to trim off some bumper? What’s the best way to gain clearance from the bumper? I mean without going aftermarket

Ok, got it.  So they stick out about 2" more than the stock wheel if I understand correctly (which maybe I don't).  

 

Seems like it could work, I have my truck leveled which is probably about 2" high in the front and that's fine for plowing.  As long as the lift components held up to the abuse and winter issues (salt).

How noisy are the Nitto Trails?  I had some Cooper STT and had to ditch them, just too loud for me.

I've seen where guys space the bumper out like 3/4" off the frame mount for a little extra clearance.

hey Waazooo,  there's no kit for it but plenty of people have done it to make room, alot of guys are stacking washers, believe from what i saw on it you need slightly longer bolts as well.....

 

this is the info i came across when i was researching it...
