Mod #1 & #2

Ok...slow but sure. Here is my first couple of mods. New 16x8 Pro Comp 7031 with Kumho Road Venture AT51 P265/75R16. Next is 2"-2.5" lift with Billies and AAL soon to come.

 

Looks really nice.
Love the wheels. How much did just the wheels set you back?

 

Wheels, lug nuts, valve stems...$395.00 including the discount

 

The way your truck is sitting, I'd take a look at the rear leafs. There's a chance they'really already pretty bad and an AAL may not work well. I'd go for a new leafspring

 

The first pic is misleading as it is sitting on an upward slope. On flat ground (garage) the rear is actually .50" higher than the front.

 

Damn, that things clean!

 

Thats a good price!
Regarding the Add-A-Leafs, here are my thoughts FWTW

Won't adding an additional leaf over stiffen your suspension, which is already much too stiff for simple recreational driving?
I used to live in Maine and the frost-thaw cycles on the country roads would create mini speed bumps.
When I would hit one at 60mph my truck would try to jump off the road!
So I bought a set of custom offroad leaf springs (drivers side was stiffer to balance the gas tank)
Its been over 10 years and the truck handles washboards and 'mini' speed bumps with grace.

 

With 252k miles, the suspension, while not worn out (measured against factory specs), is softer than original. I think.

 

Thanks. I try to take care of my stuff.

 

Thinking about taking off the mud flaps. What do y'all think? Gonna be getting the lift soon. Getting the hood repainted tomorrow due to tons of chips and stuff. I mean, hey, it's 14 years old!
