Thank you. yur looks good too. I have some painting and body work to do too. You can barely see it in the pic but the the rear quarter has a crack between the 4x4 sticker and the tail light. I got to get that fixed. Can you post some pics of your headlights and taillights i want to change mine and dont know what to get. Looks like yours arent stock.

My tails are euros (I hate them, they were on the truck when i bought them.) I tried customizing them, but they didnt turn out so im in the market for some stockers.

and my head lights are just clear corners with a blue bulb.





heres one of before i painted them


and the head lights

Sorry for jackin your thread there.

I think that would look good. If you want to go as big as you can though a 6" suspension and 3" body with 37's would look good. You would have to regear though.

I like the 4 inch suspension and the 3 in body with 35s. 9 inches of lift on a 150 is a lot.

there are guys on here who stuff 35s with just a torsion bar crank and a lot od trimming. So im fairly positive you can fit 35/12.5 with a 3 inch BL without rubbing. even if there is a little rub you can trim a little to fit. If you dont want to trim you can get a 305/75 which is pretty close to a 34 12.5
