    I finally got a new set of tires and ditched my old highway tread geolanders. Found a pretty good deal on a set of firestone destination a/t's size 265/75r16. also i removed my tube steps (which are for sale) as well as the mudflaps, and the bugflector that was on the truck when i bought it. Let me know what you think!

    Man that looks just about perfect to me.

    Question: are you running the factory rear leafs? All-Pro's website says that their shackles don't fix OEM springs, so I'm a little confused.

    Also are you running the factory shocks?

    im just running the shackles:D. yes i am still on the factory shocks. the "lift kit" i put together raised the truck all in all about 1 1/4" then with the new tires it sits quite a bit higher. im a technician by trade so i have a lot of equipment available to me and i made those rear shackles go on. i actually didnt really have to do anything that special to make them work, i had to burn out the old leaf spring bushings because they were seized in there and i had to shave down the inner edge of the new poly bushings in order to start them. then i just hammered them in and slid in the new bolts. good as new!

    Sharp lookin' truck. I'm thinking of getting rid of my tube steps too. Your photos may have solidified the decision for me....
