    I roll on 31s cuz I bash my truck and need fender clearance for maximum stuffing :p Also better mpg for DD, cheaper tires, less wear and tear on suspension components like my poor steering rack. But it does not look as awesome as 33s :|

    thanx alot for the pics guys. hopefully this will help me make up my mind about what tire and lift i want. i was thinking about just rocking the stock rims and putting some 31 duratracs on them and going the cheap route. ( kind of on a budget) but my buddy has a pair of eagle alloy 185s that are black and would look sick on my truck and he would sell them for only 200 bucks. still dont know which route to go.

    Also any 1st gen guys out there with 881s and 5100s? hows the ride?or would eibachs be a better route. thanx

    eibachs match better with 5100s, if you go OME, then grab OME shocks (theyre valved for the coils)

    Konaborne- thanx for the input man. i think i will order the eibachs within the necxt day or two. by the way i love your truck. i think the tire and lift combo looks awesome. cant wait to get my truck lifted. i just got the billies in the mail the other day and i need coils now. my leaf springs are toast and prob going to save for a full leaf kit. how do you like the ride of the eibachs on/off road

    The ride is great. It isn't a remote resi coilover, but the ride is pretty decent (a little stiffer than stock )

    offroad, theyre stiff way better than stock. (way, waay bilstein HDs)

    cant beat em for the price
