Added the 8 inch to the body lift.. I ran into a slight hic up with the wheels.. Fuel only sells 2 blanks now, both fuel hostage, but neither machined face.. The rims are supposed to be here sometime Thursday. The widest you can get in a rim for 7 lug (unless I pay 900.00 a rim) is 9 inch.. so I got 17X9 -12 offset putting either a 40 or 38x13.50 on which ever will fit and not rub.. It is also getting the body work from the accident done.. I will post pictures when finished.

Here are a couple with the 35's on it, cant really move it, the tie rods will scratch the insides of the front rims, hence the reason for new rims... Still have about a week or so for all the body work, paint, add-ons and rims and tires to be in/on.. Thinking maybe a matte black bull bar to hide the front frame rails too.

Well going to see if this offset will work with the lift.. The older rim was hitting the tie rod.

Thanks man , the tie rod clears, not a lot of room but it clears.. Now to pick a tire size, but have to wait until the front bumper is back on to check rubbing issues..

I don't know about that, but thank you. I've seen some nice trucks on here, and I hoping mine turns out close. I'm a little limited on what I can do because of the whole "7 lug" thing, but I think it's coming along nicely. Again, thank you I'll post more pics as it gets closer to being done.

Here is a couple pictures of the test fitting.. These are Mud grapps, but I'm putting Trail Grapps on and there was no rubbing.. The 1 pic is next to my old 35's.
