that lift looks great. those wheels look nice the way they are, save your cash and buy something else! but i'm sure that the new wheels will look better. what brand of lift did you use and how hard was it to do yourself? let me know. thanks

looks like it was a superlift 6" kit. Anyway, I agree about the wheels... unless they're something you really, really, want, the stock ones (IMHO) look much better. The money you spend on wheels could go into something like exhaust or intake mods. "go-fast" is always better than "bling-bling"

Thanks guys! djjoshuad is correct, it is a Superlift 6" lift.
Johnnyroastbeef, it was a pain to install! It took two days in a drive way. Fortunately it was overcast for the most part. The TTB front in is hard to work with. Yoy have to move the stock radius arm mounts back 18" and redrill the frame, which was easy, but it was hard to get the axle housings to mount to the radius arms. We cross threaded the main bolts on the bottom and had to retap the axle housing. NOT FUN and I'm glad it's over.
I was surprised at how much I like the stock wheels myself. I considered cancelling the order too, but the backspacing isn't enough on the stock wheels so I rub at full lock to lock turns. So my plan is to get the typhoons and a full size matching spare. My friend and I are going to build a custom rear bumper with a beefier tire carrier to handle the 35". My old tires still look practically new so I'll sell them with the stock wheels and get an exhaust. I figure I can get atleast $350-$400 for the old gear plus spare and put the money toward a Bussani cat-back system.
