    Looks good, you won't have rubbing until you actually use your suspension travel. Plan on trimming plastic and possibly doing a cab mount chop to make those shoes fit.

    Thank you, and thanks for the heads up! I do want to add a lift, but with so many options available, I have yet to make up my mind on which one to go with. If I stick mostly to dirt and gravel roads how do you think this will hold up?

    PS nice setup you have yourself!

    Thanks! It's a slippery slope but super gratifying to have a truck that works in all conditions.

    Regarding rubbing and tire size, it's not going to be significant, but try to put your truck on a surface that "stuffs" the front tires into the wheel well. Having one rear wheel significantly elevated is an easy way to do this. Then turn your wheels back and forth and see where you have clearance issues. Trim, repeat. A lift will definitely help with clearance, but only to a certain degree. At full compression, you will run into the same clearance issues as a stock suspension. Good luck!

    Welcome, and I will give that a try after work and see what I can come up with. Adding the larger wheels gives me incentive to go with a slight lift! :cheers:

    Let my mother borrow it for about 30 minutes while I was at work to move some stuff... THIRTY MINUTES!!! And she manages to gouge up the center console, right front door panel, and leave about a 5" long scratch in my tailgate... I'm slightly irritated about it... And she wonders why I don't like letting people borrow my truck!

    :mad:

    Burn the money in your wallet now. After being here, you ain't going to have any money left to spend. Maybe not even enough for beer.
