    Really like how aggressive your truck's stance is. On a 3" lift did you need to trim or chop the front at all? I know you say that tire "scrubbing" is no big deal but I'm just curious if the spacers gave you enough clearance to avoid chopping. And what MPG do you get with your set up?

    I also have the 3" Rough Country lift but ended up replacing the front struts & spacers with 5100's set @ 2.5". It provides the same amount if lift as the spacer. I love your tires but I'm a 2.7 and those 10 ply mud terrains would bog down my truck too much.

    Does the backend of the truck sit higher in the air then the front?

    Sick truck man, did you have any problems getting your alignment in spec after the lift?

    This is a great build imo! Looks great with those tires. I have a red DC 2007 model and checked on the rough country and the ready lift today and have really considered it for a cheaper way out and your rig and comments has really sold this set up to me. I've really wanted to run 255 85 16's....

    Great looking truck! Nice stance with the lift and the nittos. The whole red and black thing has always looked tough.
