    didn't touch the rear of the truck. just switched out the shocks.

    I would, but I'm trying to go as low budget as I can with this project. Only paid $180 for the wheels, although they were 2nd hand..

    i would love to do a similar set up but just scared of how much mpg i might lose with my 4 cyl. You think I'll lose a lot with those size tires? Looks great btw

    well I used to get about 280-300 miles on a full tank, now i get about 240-50. I'm sure eveyone on this forum can atest to losing mpg due to bigger tires and a lift.

    thanks for the comments fellas, I love modding this thing

    I take my gas mileage religiously, actually every fill up since I've owned the truck. I can tell you I was getting 21.5/18 (highway/city) when I first got it 14 months ago. After installing the lift, and going to 285 tires, I get 18.5/17.5, so not much of a change around town. The worst thing you can do for MPG is use 10% ethanol...my mileage went down to 14.5/13.5 when NYS switched over! Not to jack a thread but 10% ethanol is the worst thing this country could be doing...as soon as your gas mileage dips more than 10%, we as a country are actually buying more (oil based) fuel per mile. Crazy.

    love the look of that truck man, it convinced me more to go with a 32x11.5 R15 and get some steelies rather than just get some 265/75 R16's and stick with my stock rims
