    They're 12.5 pinched on a 7.5" wheel, so they are a little narrow.
    I hear that we're actually supposed to run. 7.5" tire on a 12.5" wheel, 808 style

    Umm... no thanks!
    Makes sense. My hutchinsons are 8.5, so that's why they look so much wider. I like the military look of the steelies tho. A lot of people on IG were more excited about the steelies than hutchinsons :rofl:

    I find humor in the irony. Weren't hutchinsons developed for military use? In my mind steelies are for tractors and cheap asses like myself.

    Haha! Yep. Hutchinson makes wheels for the military, but their rock monsters just don't have that look.

    Truck looks bad ass man!

    My wheelbase is 104" :eek: I'm almost at Jeep levels :D

    My lower links are 38"..though initially I was going for 43" I believe.

    Nice. Yeah, I really wish the links were longer, but I'm only running 12" shocks, so it shouldn't be too bad off road. Can't wait to get some bump stops in and get it off road.
    Thanks bro :cheers:

    It's really all about making things work with the space you have. Million different variables and compromises on dual-purpose rigs.

    Haven't really touched my truck lately, but helped my friend @huli467 install some sexy Kings :cool:
    I let him do most of the work tho :rofl:
    IMG_3581.jpg
    And this is the first time I seen something wrong with Kings!
    IMG_3584.jpg
    Wrong spacers in the lower spherical bearing! Kinda weird for off the shelf shocks...
    IMG_3585.jpg
    But John called them and got the guys email and sent some pics. Right spacers are on the way. Luckily I had some Cro-Mo steel laying around and made him some temp 0.220" wide spacers.
    IMG_3588.jpg
    Everything else went pretty smooth and quick.
    IMG_3587.jpg
    Also threw in superbumps front and rear.

    Jealous! :drool:

    I was telling him at the time, whoever assembled those shocks probably fucked up more than one pair, so king might be getting some phone calls. I think @huli467 said it came from wheelers.
