Thoughts on first lift?

Finally got the billy 51’s on 2.5 front 1” spacer on the back. Was hesitant with the small 265/70/16’s but overall happy with the ride and the look. Any thoughts?

considering going bigger tires when these duratracs die out but hesitant to do any body work to prevent rubbing.

 

Take the spacer out of the rear and it will look way better

 

i put the spacer in there to avoid sagging on full tank and loaded bed.

 

You don’t need it. Dropping the back down will look better, fill the wheel well in and add a little caster too

 

Looks good. Do an AAL 1.5” in rear. Run that size tire you will be good. Bigger tires = bigger wallet.

 

I think it looks great! Nice job!

 

Thanks man!!!

 

Rake is good. Keep as is on a truck like yours, looks great. Rake helps with loads and the truck brakes better

 

Agree 100%. Trucks should have a bit of rake for hauling. This truck looks perfect as it sits.

 

The prerunner look is for trophy trucks and 2wds

 

"Thoughts on first lift?" ... Make sure that you do plenty of stretching first. You don't want to cramp up or pull anything. Slow and steady repetitions are key. It's not a competition, so you don't need to rush it.

 

You think 265s look small? Looks proportionate to me, from the interweb views

 

I thought they were going to look small but i actually think they look great now that its finished.

 

I agree. I can't stand huge tires that are disproportionate to the vehicle. Furthermore, on an underpowered rig such as these, the performance just goes down as you go larger.

 

Looks good man!
