Up 2.5 inches and lovin it...

Got the 5100's all around and set at 2.5 inches, w/o an aal in the rear. The ride is soo much better than the stock Toxico shocks which I believe were on there for 140,000+ miles. Anyhow, I wanted to go with 285's tires on a 16x8 type B black steelie from wheelers but they were out of stock for months. So I picked up these Eagle alloy series 186, 15x8 wheels second hand for $45 a rim instead. I really wanted black wheels to complete the look, but I'm actually pretty satisfied with the way it turned out. Plus this wheel is such a classic look imo. I ended up going with 32x11.5 Hankook M/T's because 33x12.5 probably would have rubbed like crazy, and wouldn't have had much articulation when i took her offroad. Here's a few before and afters, enjoy.

You know the offset of your wheels? Im about to pick up a set of the same wheels

 

-30 mm, 3 1/4 BS.. they stick out a lil bit

 

Sweet! Thats exactly the same size that im getting, Looks good man!

 

appreciate it. You don't like your Steelies??

 

Truck looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttttttttttt!!!! What type of paint did you use to black out your emblems? I can't decide on removing all of mine or blacking them out.

 

Wow your taco looks great man. A lil lift goes a long way

 

that looks awesome!

 

Looks great. That's what I'm looking to do.

 

I just used some Krylon Flat Black on them. Actually thinking about using the Duplicolor Flat Black Wheel paint on the rims, i gotta stick to the theme.

thanks for the comments guys

 

Man, that's a really sharp looking truck.

 

That thing looks sick. Would look even more better with a hood scoop mod

 

Lookin' good man!

 

Verry Nice!!! Love that look man! Is your truck sitting level front to back. Or is there a rake?

 

I love my steelies, I switched jobs so I need a set of street tires that arent so big, Im probably gonna run 32's on the eagles and keep the 33's on the steelies

 

Great thread title.. (that's what she said...)

looks good

 

you know I've been looking at it for the past few days and it looks pretty level to me, might be the slightest rake front to back but it's very little.

lol left myself open for that one, nice
