If I could find a Harley lightning engine and computer and whatever else that I need to make it compatible with my truck...need to find one that was crashed without engine being messed up
Damn you have the 4.6?! It would be a lot of work to upgrade. I would just slap a charger on her and some gears and you'll be right there with the big dogs. But I would say some 4:56s gears should be first. You can't fathom how much it will help,

I can't tell man. But those tires look pretty big for a stock truck. Maybe a bl?

That custom bumper helped a lot for those tires fit under the truck. I like the hostages and want to get them in 20x10 chrome deep lip at -24 or even -44 offset

Pretty sure they would fit even with the stock bumper.

They really did not fit under mine with a leveling kit. The tire guy had one on the front and showed me how much I was gonna have to trim the bumper valance and where it was gonna hit when I would flex and go off road in a ditch or drainage. It wouldn't have been worth it. My kit was maxed out to much cuz my angles were to steep and I went through 2 sets of axles

It all depends on the tires. I know people running 35s with just a level and zero problems my truck could run the biggest set of 35s out there with out a problem and people like you that had problems.
