Not sure of how those steps are made, but still like that style of step over any other.

They have a tube frame that always rots out, I've been trying to find some for mine also. But it's hard in the rust belt.

I think Diesel Brad knows a guy that makes a better version of the frame for those steps. Maybe send him a pm

Talking 2" lift and upsize from 31s to 33s


Just finished a lift to make room for 33"x 10.5x15 BFG A/T KO2. Had to trim bumper 3" to have enough turning clearance for the bigger diameter. No rubbing on suspension parts nor frame.
My work truck hauler and play toy on trails and gravel in the MInnesota north woods was treated to a 2' lift and upsize tires from 31" to 33x10.5x15 BFG A/T KO2s.



Needs a trim!



After Sawzall and flat black paint trim job.



Now for side steps (petite wife already had trouble getting up in it, lol!), Mud Flaps, LED combo light bar, LED Ditch spots, LED rear work light, LED cab lights, and gun rack. Photos to follow!

Looking good Tasker1973! What did you use for the spare mount? Where'd you find the mount and do you like it there? I was thinking the same for my truck.

My 1995 CCLB Dually 7.3 PSD

Hello,

This is my much loved 1995. I bought it in good shape to begin with, and I've showered a little more love on it:
- deep transmission pan
- largest transmission cooler I could find
- 3" downpipe and 4" rest of the way back
- homemade muffler that works almost too well (very quiet)
- LED headlights
- Formuling France 10" steering wheel (no one likes this but me!)
- new tires
- LED running lights and DIY LED taillights
- new canopy and winter camping setup in it
- recently stripped and polished the OEM Alcoas...... they look superb!!

7.3 PSD A4OD, 4.10 162k miles
