    I got this AAL from another member for a good price. I haven't adjusted the 5100's on the front yet to level it out. Do the tires look too small on the back? They're 265/75r16's. I don't want to get involved in going to 285's because of the 4 cylinder and the trimming required.

    Looks good. Post a new pic after playing with the Billy's. Im getting 265/75/16s when I've worn enough rubber off the stock Dungflops.
    This is what it looks like when the tires are too small for the lift.

    I think it looks great man, I really like those wheels on that color truck. Once you get the 5100s cranked up to level it out, it's gonna look sweet!

    i think it looks perfect man. 285's would just be a whole lot of tire for that too little of a truck. it's got a great stance with those 265/75's.

    Thanks. Yup that's the AAL from Josh. It gave me 2" on the rear end. So right now I'm tall on the back end. Looks great though. Even had someone flag me down in the neighborhood yesterday and tell me he loved the truck.

    Stock. I'm going Friday for an alignment. I'll post how I made out with the Caster spec. Even if I can't get it within spec, I probably won't get aftermarkets. Caster isn't a tire-wearing angle so I'm not too concerned.

    I think they look good man. Take a picture of the front of the truck from grill level if you don't care.

    I think that size tire looks good. I mean it could be filled out a little more, but it looks fine the way it is and it really wouldn't be worth the hassle IMO.
