Nice!! But why did you go from 10.5" down to 6" then back up to 8"? Or is that the little boy in you that can't make up his mind? HaHa. Seriously I believe the smaller lifts are more practical but I do like the size of 38s. I saw some Nitto Mud Grapplers in 38" and did they look good! On my 4" lift I would have to install Bushwacker cutouts if I wanted a tire that tall. Concerning the Toyo M/Ts, do you like them better than the PJs you had? Didn't you buy some more used PJs recently?

JJ,
Have fun down here on the Corpus beaches, there is a bit of seaweed on the shore this time of year.
As for me, I'll be heading to SA for the weekend...maybe we'll blow by each other on I-37.
Have fun and stay safe!!

yeah, dig the hood. Really want to get one of those for my 2003. Thinking about replacing the hood and bumper/grill for a 2005 Harley setup. I just can't make myself feel good about throwing that much money into it right now

gmpirate: Never look at it as throwing money away! You "throw" money away on women, and "invest" money in your truck!
Jetjock, the truck is looking good, I need a career like yours, so I can have the time to finish the work on mine!

Jet,
Truck looks sweet! very nice combo. You must be getting pretty good at installing lift kits by now! So are you sitting on Edge 6" springs with what company 2" hangers? What did you do with the rear? Add a block?

thanks for the nice words guys.... the springs are front 6" springs are superlift select, the rear are deavers.. the wheels are JAX HD 18x10s, you have to buy them throught discount tire . com , there chrome and heavy duty rated, with allot of offset, -27mm, comes out to be like 3 7/8" backspacing.. so it helps the skinner tires stick out more.. and there not too expensive like the other brands.. about $250 a peice or so..the tires are 37 toyo m/t
