Planning on ordering 295 / 65 / 20 Nitto Trail Grapplers tomorrow and a 4 inch Rancho lift .


The build will probably cost 12 - 13000 but why upgrade to a newer truck when mine is low miles .


Truck should be pretty sweet . The lift probably will not be put in till spring along with rims and tires . Will be doing the charger / grill / door handle painting and have debated on the FX4 flares and getting ride of the lower gray on the truck and turning it to white completely .


Pumped ! Any ideas / suggestions are welcome .

HEY WAIT. I dont know if you or your mechanic have the time but if you get the chance can you throw those tires on stock? they are so close to the 275/65 they have to be close to fitting stock, i mean one inch close. i really want to run them with just a 1.5 level but dont wanna dish out 1500 for tires and not have them fit... like i said it would be great for everyone on this forum to see exactly how big is too big but i gotta believe they are close to fitting.
