5:13 would be good - up into the 6's might not be wise, cause you probably won't go with 50's when you get new tires.

What does it have for a spare?
I'm guessing........................nothin'?

Good - I'll bet that spare weighs about 130lbs.

Where are the subs mounted in your truck?

I think somehow you get the door open then take a run and hope you can jump high enough.

Nice looking truck by the way.

I'm working on training my dog on that very problem. I was told to throw treats in the back and he would jump up there to get them.

So, we'll just throw a beer in the back of the truck. Or lobsters.

Either one would probably work just as well.
Really sorry I can't make it up there today. I was looking forward to meeting you.

Try doin' that with Basset Hounds!

You could throw a whole meat market in the back, all you'd get is howling.

With these mutts (and my bad back), it's lift up the front half, put paws on seat, left up the back end and shove them in.

With a rig that high off the ground, I'd have to build a special ramp.

btw: I see Jacaranda trees in the background, you don't want those flowers on your paint job very long.

The stains will never come out if not removed promptly.

Luckily, we don't have them here in the "Heights."
