to get those tires under a IFS chevy, you'd basicly have 2 feet of goofy brackets hanging down..

trust me that truck is easily 100X better a IFS chevy.

dam those rims are ugly. every set of J.J wheels i ever seen were terrible. that dude has no style.

i agree to his no style.i took off the covers and they look 10x better than they did.actually look pretty decent now but still not my taste.and i know this suspension and stuff is better than a chevy.i was born and raised inside gmcs and my first ford was my excursion.i think they're the best all around truck and they get the job done and they're cheap which helps.so for now ill be in a ford.later down the road ill probably do a sfa setup on a 2008 crew cab dually chevy.

it is greene.hahah.theyre SUPPOSED to be in today.the tires are in the back of my truck and im off work at 300 so ill be headed out to the valley to get them mounted.fingers are crossed that it all goes thru well

and as for the flames they were hand brushed on and have flakes and pearl in them as well.there is no taking them off unless i paint the whole truck which sucks but i dont relaly mind them all that well since they're there.i would never take a white truck and put them on there tho.haha

No kidding? My office is right up the street from them. They did the wheels and tires for my car. Good to know, if I get the military tires they will mount them.

Mudflaps. Yet another reason I would like to change to the same tires. I got busted by CHP a few months back when I showered their car with rocks as I was getting on the freeway... OOPS!

It wouldnt have been a big deal but the guy had a cadet with him. Turned into a big training thing for his cadet. He couldnt see into the truck due to the lift so he made me open the doors so he could see all that was going on. Plus made us get off the freeway and so on. Of course I showed him the respect he deserved and all was well. We talked for about 20 minutes when all was said and done. Cool guy
