    Thanks man, they're 33x10.5x15. I've always been a fan of the skinny tire/small rim combo

    It's red.
    This makes me happy, I haven't actually looked yet but once my mud terrains wear down I want to get myself some mall-terrains, but I want them in the same tire size as I have now. I'm curious to know your front wheel clearance from wheel to fender. Your truck looks as if it has zero rake to it with the Dakar's in the back. I want to go to the Dakar's at some point as well, but I want to eliminate the rake that I have at the moment. You have the stock shackle as well? How do they ride? Sorry...a lot of questions.

    Are there any 1st gen lift spindles for 6 lug pre-runners. I've seen that SOLO makes a 3" lift spindle but I think that's with LT?

    I thought I heard of another brand that made lift spindles for us 6 lug 1st gens but can't find it if there is...?

    Solos spindles are also for trucks without LT. They will work on your truck how it is

    Yeah, I really wish there would be other manufacturers to bring the price down, but the solo spindles look awesome...

    SOLO spindles are NOT LT only, That's good news. I wish they were a little cheaper though. Thanks for the help :)

    Spindles not worth it? You kidding? Shit if there was a good 4wd one I'd run one. Talk about ground clearance

    Haha yeah it's just a thought. I've been collecting parts for a 4wheel convert but I'm stuck because low on funds. I keep going back n forth on wether to do it or not, or if I should use the $ elsewhere, like lift spindles. But it's just a thought for now. I'm still collecting what I can, got the trans for free off a wrecked 2003 3.4 4wd, that helped out a lot.

    Solo also makes a 4wd spindle but it doesn't add any lift. Works with stock suspension but you do need uniball upper arms
