Very Nice, Your wheeler almost matches the trucks color.

 

Not much if any at all. I did not put a tape on it. The new shocks may have helped also.

 

Nice ride! What size / brand lift are you planning on installing? (you may have said and I missed it).

 

[QUOTE=RigTrash601;14766240]Nice ride! What size / brand lift are you planning on installing? (you may have said and I missed


I will be using Ready Lift brand. I am either going with 2.5 front 2 in back stage 4 lift. Which I have used many times on my other trucks and on other trucks that I have lifted for friends. My other option is a Ready Lift 3.5 front and 3 in back stage 4 lift. I have recently just put two of these on a 2014 and 2015 F250 Platinum. They came out well. 35 in tires look good on them, but both of those trucks we are running 37 X 13.50 X 20 Toyo MT. I am thinking of going with 35 X 12.50 X 20. Toyo RT.

 

I'm eventually going to install a 4" - 4 link BDS, I was looking at 35" tires, but the guy I deal with in Ms. says that size Toyo (35 x 12.5 x 20") are getting harder to come by. I wonder if the 4" will clear the 37's enough? What part of La. you in?

 

Thanks for getting back to me on the front end.
Truck looks great and will only get better with time with your efforts i am sure.
Give us a report on how you like the new Honda quad as well, it looks like a nice ride.
Enjoy.
Pat

 

Mitch, fwiw, I bought a set of 35" MT's from treaddepot.com a few months back, and they still currently show them in stock and ready to ship: Tire Results | Tread Depot


Those guys and tirecrawler.com might be affiliated somehow, but they've got the lowest shipped prices on tires I've found on the web.


As for running 37's, while I haven't fit 'em yet on my truck, I'm about 95% confident my meager 2.5"/2" lift could clear 'em up front no problem, if all the space around my 35's are any indication. I was leaning strongly towards going with 37's those months ago, but in the end, I talked myself into being happy with the gearing and speedometer and look that the 35's gave. I don't think the height of the 37x13.50 is the real issue, it's the width. If you wanted to stick to a 12.50, you'll get a little rubbing on the front torsion arms like I do, but it's no cause for concern. But if you just had to have the 13.50 width, buy the proper offset/backspace aftermarket rims to prevent that, as you wouldn't want to run a 13.5 wide tire on the factory 8" wide 20's anyway


Oh, and us Tigers over here will try to help y'all out with Ole **** tomorrow


sorry CB, for the

 

I am from Eunice. About 40 miles from Lafayette. I have heard a few people say that the MTs are hard to come by, but the guy I deal with had at least 15 set of 35 12.50 20 on hand Wednesday. I was kinda leaning towards the RTs. Yes you will be able to run 37s with that BDS 4in. I know 2 people who are at this time. One guy is running 37X13.50X20 on factory tires with spacers. The other guy is running 37s on aftermarket. Both trucks are new F250

 

Thanks, Not sure I want the 37's, but not certain that the truck will look right with the space in the wheel well, we'll see. As far as Ole **** () Going to be interesting to say the least, alot of S**T talking going on out here on the rig!

 

I know exactly where Eunice is, used to work on a rig with Mr. "Lolly" Huval (RIP) crazy sumbitch, him......I've done several jobs around Pine Prarie and in that area. Thanks for the info....How much did the bumpers set you back with all the lights, etc?

 

Those tires and bumpers work. I don't know why, but they really tie it all together.

 

Getting PCS to Lousiana in July. Maybe I'll see some of you fellas there. I'll be near Deridder or the Rose Pine area.(Close to Ft Polk)

 

Front bumpers was $1940 Rear bumper was $1400 Front PIAA lights were $276 each Rear PIAA lights $250 for both lights License plate light I got online for $20 Recon cab light covers $40 Recon side maker lights $145

 

I have a camp in Kinder on the Calcasieu River which is just east of Deridder. I am about 7 miles from Grand Casino Coushatta. Let me know when you are in the area.

 

Cajunboxer,
Time to change your profile pics and signature line, out with the nice old truck and in with the new awesome truck!
