    Thank you, trying to get a bed rack made for the RTT I ordered. It is a never ending project.

    Great looking truck. I like the mild lift and it looks great even with the 31" tires. What tires are in this pic? They don't look like KO2's. Are they still 31x10.50?

    They are stupid cheap and this tightwad can certainly appreciate that. ;) I went from 15's to 16's too, but in 3 spokes.

    So I installed a set of OME Dakar rear springs and I was disappointed to see that they did NOT lift my truck at all. Instead they where FLAT!
    So I pulled the bottom two overload leafs and installed my Icon 3 leaf AAL and factory overload. Now the spring pack does not have a flat profile. I am going to remove the Toytec shackles and put the factory ones back in.
