Truck looks great! i dont understand how people can say that a 6 inch lift makes 35's look small. my tires are even more aggressive so it will look good.

this might seem kind of dumb but im sort of trying to figure out how tall my truck sits now compared to yours. Could you measure from the ground up to the corner of your box like where the box and cab meet at the bottom. Thanks alot!

Your 35s look small. Is this due to less rubber because of larger rims? The gap in the wheel wells look huge.

im not a big fan of wide low profile tires. they look silly, seen that allot on pickups in arizona the illegals drove. if there gonna be wide they better be tall.

Im not a big fan of more rim either. Here is my set up now. I think going up 3 more inches wont make my tires look small. And with the fender flares if i run some 1 1/2 spacers it will have a better stance also.

Is that black paint at the bottom of truck or a Rhino guard like I have at the bottom of my 150? Have have it sprayed under flares and on running boards. Why have the tires stick out? Just get over spray and rock chips on paint.

Yup its bed armor, and im not that worried about rock chips up high because i dont drive it on the road that much. it gets used off road alot. I lifted it and put big tires on it to get it dirty and use it. That is why im wanting to lift it higher. Im not getting the full use of the suspension off road. I can only flex a slight amount before it rubs so whats the point? I know alot of guys run 37s with 6 inches of lift but i bet those guys arent wheeling there rig in the trails or wheeling it to hard, if any at all. Some day i will buy a brand new pavement princess but for now this 14 year old truck is going to get used and beat on.

why have a lifted 4x4 with big tires and rhino guard if your worried about scratches and paint. might as well get a geo metro and stay on the road.

Thank you! if you want to keep your truck nice then by all means more power to you, but if your going to lift it and throw some mud tires on it i hope it gets used. We have had a pretty dry summer here in michigan so the trails have stayed pretty dry which is very very dissapointing but i guess i still get to have fun with less power washing.

Both trucks are pure work trucks used for hauling and plowing. What is wrong with keeping company trucks looking like new, clean and presenting a good image for my business? Both trucks are not factory and have several custom features to make these work strong.

I am sure your truck will not see the frigid nasty weather mine will and be forced to work 20+hrs non stop.
