    Haha I know, it's just a habit to walk in the store and grab a case of bud light. I do like stout beers though, they kinda have a coffee taste

    I hope it won't be a year! I don't think I can wait that long.

    Just ordered duratracs from tire rack 265 75 16's $864 shipped with a $60 mail in rebate, so $804 for the 10ply E rated...

    Pulling the trigger on my OME setup soon, who's the dealer of choice lately? Toytec? Wheelers?

    I want them to preassemble the front shock and coil and I think both of them will do that, anybody have a preference to share?

    I went on the tire rack website and saw the rebate and it's a good deal, but I'm that guy that never sends in for the rebate because I lazy and forgetful haha.

    I went with Headstrong offroad, they are good people and were having a sale at the time.

    I don't normally dig on blue Tacos, but the lift and those wheels really set it off!

    +1. HS actually got really good prices and I would've actually ordered from them if I didn't get a deal at TruckFest.

    They are the nicest people to deal with too and will get you sent up right. Head strong all the way. On another note finally got my lift on and it took a lot more time than we had expected (mainly from having to run to the dealer several times for parts, discount auto for tools needed 3 difference times) but it was a great learning experience I just wish there was a list of tools somewhere that would be needed cause there were some sockets that were just a little bigger than I had in my tool kit. (like a 19mm and a 32mm)

    Anyway here are some pics and I will put my measurements on the measurement thread soon. Getting my Duratrac 285/70/17s in the morning so these are my nittos 265/70/17

    Setup:
    Full OME kit: 885 coils, dakars 1/4 top plate spacer, trim packer, LR UCAs.

    I just re used the stock ones just drill a small hole in it to accommodate the longer bolt and it is fine. I really don't see a need to buy new ones.
