    Just finished my setup on Sunday. SCS ray10s 17x8.5 with 285/70/17 Nitto Terra Grappler G2. 4" spindle lift up front and 2" block in the rear. Just a heads up in case it happens to anybody else, the nuts provided in the spindle kit were too large for the bolts provided and had too much play, just ran down to Ace hardware to pick up some fitting ones. Other than that the install went perfect and had no problems.

    :goingcrazy: I've got the same truck & can't stop obsessing over the Ray10's. Your tire:lift ratio looks good, thumbs up. My question is the side profile shot, I included only that 1 in my quote... are you 2 ghost riding it ooorrr doing the Whip & Nae Nae (Google it)?

    its only temporary until I can find me some cheap 33s that are on 15x8s. I only put these on because the previous wheels and tires were shot that came on the truck. I prefer the look of steelies over the TRD ORs...I was kinda liking it at first....but then it just hit me and I want the steelies back on haha

    I mean you could also upgrade the coilovers too, like get some Bilstein 5100s but put them on the 0 setting so you get no lift, just ride quality upgrade, but pretty much thats it. with the spindles, you dont need upgraded UCAs since it doesnt mess with the geometry like bigger coilovers do

    But it just makes the truck look a little ridiculous lol here's a couple photos after and before the bumper lol. the 2nd photo is the exact same suspension setup as the first photo. midtravel and the maxtracs on, just the only difference is the bumper lol

    Haha! I like the word choice "ridiculous" lol

    What size tires are those when you still had the stock bumper on? Sorry man, I have a shit load of questions, I should probably just say screw it and start making purchases.
