Ilg's

Well I figured it was about that time, I finally feel I have done enough modifications to my truck to warrant it's own build thread.

I have also received way to many wheel questions, so I figured it would just be easier to point people here than answer questions every time.

I still have to gather up the various photos from all the mods and different states, but this should be a good start.

"November 6th, 2010: Installed 5100s at 2.5"
At least you have a good excuse for not calling me on my birthday.

 

Sleek.

 

lol.

 

Great looking truck. I really like those rims and that color match grill looks so much better then the original.

 

Good choice on rims!

 

good start looks nice

 

lookin good

 

Thanks Guys!

Update... sliders have been ordered.

 

Looking good man! Quick question, did you just set the 5100s to 2.5 without installing an AAL, TSB, or anything else? I like the way your lift looks and I just ordered the billies

 

Yeah, the billies are at 2.5. No lift in the rear, although that is coming soon. The truck however is Canadian, so it comes from the factory with the TSB leafs

 

Your truck looks great! I was wondering, where do you get the vinyl for the rear bumper? Did you do it yourself?

 

Love the wheel and tire setup! Any spacers? Trimming?

 

I just went to a local art store. It came in 14inch wide rolls and I ordered something like 16 feet (extra in case I messed up). Only cost about 15 bucks. The hard part was putting it on, but with some help and a heat gun (or hair dryer) and it should be fairly easy.

Nope, no spacers, just the 4.5 backspacing on the wheels. I had to trim a little off the inside of the mudflaps when it was still stock height. But since the raise, it has not rubbed at all

 

Will those Eagle Alloys fit on stock wheels?

 

Wow. I meant stock tires?

 

Looks real sharp!!! Any alignment problems with the 5100s at 2.5"?

 

Nope, none at all!
