I think he was referring to the tires rubbing the cab, and not your brother rubbing one out on the truck......

Huge tires? Check. Crush your fenders with any sort of articulation? Check.

driveline angles are perfect. I have a divorce t-case which helps alot.I run a 1350 cv rear driveshaft in the rear with the diff rotated up to be 1.5 degrees below running in parralel of driveshaft of 20 degrees room for the axle to rotate up the 1.5 degrees when under load for a proper cv angle(diff runs at 18.5 deg./ 20 deg. when under load). Shaft ,yolks and ujoint ran just under $800 for parts alone not inlcuding machine work time to cut shaft in lathe. Front angle is also good due to high pinion d-60 front end.

O yeah I drive it to and from work a few times a week and on weekends. I even drive it on the highway with no worries. I can get it up to about 80 k/m on my speedo which converts to about me actually going about 100 / or 110 with the big tires. No one sells a new speedo gear that will fix that, well I could get one that would make it close I guess

49" Iroks!

yeah you can drive these things on the road up here in canada. my tires stick out about 8 inches from the body on 49's. so i do need flares but i just don't care as of yet. they have bumper height regulations but its such a grey area and nobody knows what is legal and what is not so F*#! it. just drive it. i have alot more pics of this thing. you should see the pearl paint in the direct sunlight. i am planning on 3 more inches of lift not because i want to but kinda have to to protect my fenders from any articulation when wheeling. its always nice having 2 of these things in the backyard. if one gets yanked just send out the other.

Thats AWESOME. I'd love to see my girlfriend try to get into it. She has problems with my F-350 with 37's.

Now that I think about it. I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE PROBLEMS! Haha.
