    Monte, remind me are you running wheel spacers? After seeing your fenders I'm thinking I might go with some 6" flares when I get some for my truck. IF they are a little too wide I can add spacers since I'm not running any yet.

    Ya I'm running 1.5" spacer on a 4" BS Rims. I only have 2.5" of BS. that's why my wheel at so wide.

    With your 10.5 wide tires and how it sits now, 4.5" should cover your tires no problem.

    He's running 33x12.50s so I don't think it would be any different? :notsure:

    I'm running 1" spacers, so I think my BS is at 2.75"

    Ohhh I see what you did there...haha nice!

    Well 6" is huge man. I feel like that would look pretty odd with out bedsides too. What's your rims back spacing?



    What most do. 3" suspension lift is the best for diff clearence. All ya need to do is a lot of cutting :cool:

    But aren't 315s like only 12" wide? :notsure: I thought I read once they weren't a true 12.5" wide tire.

    If the 315's are really 315 mm wide then it would be a 12.4" wide tire, but since most manufacturers tires seem to claim a larger size than they really are, they may be closer to a 12".

    Ah that makes sense.

    Well Adam I bet will jut 1" spacers like what Jon is running it would still cover the tire. It is really just barely out.

    Or I bet .75" ones would better from borja.

    Its a super expedition truck :cool:

    :D:D

    Lol

    Hella cool :cool: it's sooooooo bad ass

    :brianr:





    Ya so here is the story on the shipping. I guess I like way out of fastnals shipping circles(go figure) so fastnals trucks only take it to salt lake city. Then a company NPT picks its up and takes it to Casper about 4 hours south east from Me. Then they bring it to powell(where I live) then they take it to cody 23 miles west of me where they call me to come pick it up.

    So after fastnals cock up with leaving sitting for a week. NPT picked it up successfully at salt lake. I found this out after calling fastnal today and the lady was like wth is going on and made some calls. She was very helpfull. So then she figured out it should have arrived today in cody but hadn't so she had no idea where it was in WY. she called NPT and it turns out they left it just sitting in the loading bay...in Powell ha so I just went and picked it up. Unbelievable. Oh well. I have it and it's epic cool.
