    I'm going to order some tires, spacers, 5100s, and brake pads. I'll have a few things to do.

    Forgot doug thorley headers, borla catback, magnaflow catalytic converter, deckplate, fuel filter, belts, and some other crap.

    I plan on taking it all back home when I get everything and installing it on a hoist. 4 guys and a couple days and we should have it done. The hardest part will be taking everything off because of rust. A torch and grinder will help.

    The CB won't be done until I get my rear bumper made since the firestick will be mounted on it. But the cb radio is already peaked and tuned so it should be an easy install.

    Why do you need those? The tires you are getting shouldn't have any issues fitting.

    I wish I could give you some of my sticky-outiness haha. One puddle and your truck is covered in whatever you just went through. Although it flings water up in the air like indy cars do, so that's neat I guess

    Also that CB will have to be retuned when the antenna is installed.

    I'm looking to only go about 1", It should bring the edge of the tread even with the fender.

    This weekend I am dropping the steering rack and installing poly bushings and welding the tie rod ends to the rack. Also going to take about a half inch of preload out of my coilovers, and maybe remove my overload leaf if it looks goofy. Alignment on Monday.

    Laid my first couple of beads on the welder last night, going to need a ton of practice...
