    @MESO it’s incredible what you have done and what you are able to do with modifying so much yourself. Thanks for being willing to share some of your secrets with us all! That’s a mean looking rig!

    Yes. After the new stuff is on, I’ll have a full king setup and OME leaf pack for sale.
    Thanks! I just take an idea or vision and make it happen. I try and to most of the work myself but there are a few things I sub out or get help on:)



    Got my wheels mounted/balanced:

    Then test fit the new setup

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    Amazing the difference that only 2 inches of tire makes. I think you're gonna need a little more trimming or lift or both?

    Yes, but they are sold locally.
    I just like to mod, and bring you guys along for the ride:D
    No lift, just more trimming
    I will weigh them this week, but I have a feeling the 37's are lighter than the 35's.

    Not installed yet.. next week
    Oh for sure. I am doing a cab mount relocation and running fiberglass fenders. So we shall see if it need more(aka TUB)


    Just about all my parts are here except for all the king goodies.(will be here this week)
    I am fitting all the glass, then it's going into the shop next week to have all the welding done(little more than I can handle so I'm going to have a local shop do it)

    Getting installed:
    FRONT:
    -Total Chaos +3.5 race kit
    -King 2.5 w/resi
    -King Bypass w/ resi
    -King 2.0 bumps
    -TC spindle gussets
    -TC secondary hoop
    -TC Cam tabs
    -TC Shock tower brace
    -Stoptech BBK
    -Alpine Designs cab mount relocation

    REAR:
    -DMZ SUA LT kit
    -Archive garage Relocation towers
    -King 14" w/resis
    -King 2.0 Bumps

    New tube bumpers front/rear to meet up with the fenders better. It's going to be a whole new truck..I can't wait:bananadance:

    I was just being facetious about the cutting part. Knew you'd have to do some drastic measures to get the 37s to fit correctly :thumbsup:

    Yes 3" fenders and bedsides. I was on the fence with 6" but decided it was a little too extreme

    Is that a custom MESO Snorkle or is that the one from Sloop?

    I love the look and also am looking into 3" from mcneil with a snorkle.

    You always do such a great job!

    I made it. I saw SLOOPS but I hated how far it came forward on the fender. Mine drops right in as minimal as possible.
