North East "Spotted" Thread

Saw a 2nd gen white access cab. 3" lift and some beefy looking tires. Think it had a blacked out grill. Saw it in Woonsocket. And of course I wasn't driving my truck.

 

Almost thought you were talking about mine until I saw access cab. You at westover???? I have seen two lifted ones there mine and another

 

Sounds like John. Check out this thread, he posts there fairly frequently:

Yup im at Westover, live right near there. I think i've seen your truck around as well.

 

And hopefully mine soon

 

nice what setup you going with

 

i was going with the toytec ultimate with radflo's but my wifes truck dying puta stop to that so i think im just doing a readylift 2.75" just so i can get some 32's under it for cheap with no rubbing

 

*cough* 5100's *cough*

 

i can get the readylift for wicked cheap, ill do a real lift later on when we get my wife a new vehicle, my tires are shot right now and im gonna need height to fit new bigger ones without rubbing. the main thing is available funds for the lift its gotta help get my wife a new vehicle o the joys of marriage haha

 

What size tires are you going with? You can clear 265/70R17 tires at stock height, no lift. You can also clear an even taller tire in 255 series at stock height. If you're looking 285's, even lifted you'll be trimming to clear them (there are some people running 285's at stock height also). Height doesn't help clear tires as much as you might think.

Something to consider, you buy the Ready-Lift with the intent of buying another lift later, you pay for an alignment, then buy your second lift and buy a second alignment. You're not saving as much as you think and your stuck with a spacer lift in the interim.

 

but it will probubly be a year maybe more before i'd have the money to get a real lift thats my issue. im not a hardcore wheeler either i want it mostly for asthetics so i should be ok for my situation.

 

I hear ya, just wanted to make sure you were weighing all the options and knew you could clear 32's without the lift if that was the driving force.

 

looking taller with big tires is the main thing haha i hate owning a stock vehicle.

 

I had the ready lift and it was ok and I went with the 3 inch from pro comp and I have 285 and I didnt have to trim at all

 

Factory wheels or did you change offset? Also, do you wheel the truck at all?

 

After market wheels but same offset as stock and yes I have wheeled my truck before

 

That's most likely me . I'm there every morning getting coffee .

 

Saw him again today at lunch time, access cab not double cab as I previesly posted, real nice truck. What lift does he have?

 

Lunch for you . Just waking up getting coffee for me .
