    In order to fit 15's you'll have to get shallow backspacing and wheel spacers to space it out from the brake calipers.

    Might look a little retarded :anonymous:.

    Nice choice in color tho :cheers:

    Love the cement almost as much as quicksand.

    Rubbed once on the road when i was reversing quickly in full lock and hit a speed bump. Otherwise no issue at all. Occasionally you get something off road but pretty rare. I wouldn't advise doing anything else!

    For the Pro guys... what's wrong with adding a AAL's and new front springs... lift your truck and keep those fancy pants OEM shocks.... problem solved. Can even get the springs powder coated red to match what you already have.

    Yeah i take mine through some somewhat serious muddy trails with lots of hills and tight corners. The setup is fine now but getting stuck multiple times in 3 inches of mud with these stock tires gets old
