http://www.flickr.com/photos/37896371@N06/3483728297/ This is my truck. It's bone stock right now, so if anyone has any ideas on wheels and tires (cannot be lifted, but can be lowered, pending I have to haul a gooseneck trailer; and yes if i could, i would lift it!) and paint jobs for this truck please post your pics and posts! Thanks!

Well I might could put a leveling kit on but still have to haul trailer*

Lots of people haul goosenecks with 4 inch and sometimes even 6 inch lifts...

NICE TRUCK!!:hehe: (I got your email and will send pics)

If I was to do it again this is what I would do.

- 20" rims 33 inch tire (Street tire)
- lower the rear to make it level

Stuff I wouldn't change

- SCT custom tuned by gogodiesel
- Beans turbo
- arp studs
- firestone air bags
- gauges pyro, boost, water temp
- :nos:

THANKS man! Can't wait for the pics! I'm ready to start on mine!

MIne is lowered 3/6 on 22's.

If yours is 4WD...you're pretty much limited to lowering the back only. You can do that for free by pulling out the factory lift block in the back. If you wanna lower it a bit more after that just get a set of drop shackles for ~50 bucks.

Mine is a 2wd as was that Banks truck.

Where can I get some drop shackles for the rear of my 4WD? And when I remove the lift block, will it be level with the front or will I need the drop shackles to make it level? Thanks!

Removing the rear block will make the rear level with the front of a stock truck.

 

[!!!PainTrain!!!]

Just be aware that now your rear will be level with the front of your truck. And if you throw a decent size load on the back she will be squating the whole way down the road lol.

Haha yeah I'm gonna get some helper springs or an air assist kit!

Thanks man! What size are those tires? ex: 285/75/16

 

[ford_cummins83]

i got 285/65/18 bfg all terrain and with the wheel all the way they barely touch on stock height

get some black XD series monsters 22's with maybe some nitto dura grapplers, there great for towing but still a low profile tire

 

[UNBROKEN]

Good luck...I'm trying to buy those wheels right now...backordered for at least 2 months.

 

[SCHOOL BUS]

that'll look sick rich. I called about some when I was gonna drop the bus and they told me they were on back order too. I took it as a sign

 

[4x4freak]

they are small skinny 265/70R17

Here is mine on 20's and 33's with a leveling kit.

What are the exact measurements on those wheels and tires (ex: 24x12, 285/75/16)? What kind of tires and leveling kit is that? and where can I get that leveling kit? I really like the stance of that truck! thanks man!

Lowered is better than lifted...
