Default Nice!

Great looking truck. Was thinking about doing a 2.5" leveling kit and putting 33" mud grapplers under it, but I've been contemplating the width. Can you post a picture of the truck from head on and from behind? Also, love the headlights.

I can try get some better pics tonight. The -24mm offset on the 10" rim looks great. The tires stick out past the fenders about .5" which is just what I wanted. Gives a nice wide stance.


The previous owner had a leveling kit installed and I couldn't wait to have it taken out. The ride was horrible. If you do get one don't crank the keys to the max height. You'll hate how the ride feels.

Looks nice. I'd never trust rough country lifts for this generation.

No?? Truck likely won't see very much serious offroading so hopefully should be ok. What problems have you found/heard of??

The 3 piece lower cross members like to come loose, and the bolts sheer. This allows the wheel to make contact with the fender.

I heard that happens if the tbars are cranked all the way and maybe a little past, hoping that doesn't happen to me. Looks just as great from behind!

Has nothing to do with torsion bar preload.
