Real nice looking truck, Nate. What kind of rims are those? Work well with the swampers. Paint job is very nice. Have it professionally done or you do it yourself?

The rims are mickey thompson classic II 16x10. Paint job is about 5 years old it's getting painted again in a couple years. The guy who painted it is just a local guy who paints in his garage, he does decent work though.

Automatic or 4 speed? I'm planning to lift my F-250 enough to stuff 39's under it but I'm debating on 4:10 or 4:56. I have a C-6 and just want to make sure I can still drive on the freeway without running an insane RPM. I see you have 4:56 with 36" tires so I was curious to know how that's working out for you.

Awesome truck by the way!

Haven't had the tires that long so cant tell how they will wear. They are a 10 ply tire so I can keep the air high aroud 50-60psi. So they will wear a little better.

I have a C-6 and my speedo only reads correct when I have my 33's on it. But with the 36's at 65-68mph it runs right around 2900 rpm.
