Those Diesels look great. Not sure how i feel about the 35's and 22's. I think the 37's and 22's wouldve looked good like that other truck.

I think the gap between the fender and tire is a little bit big with the 35s and the 37s won't fit I wish they made like a 36" tire for 22s that would be the perfect fit.

On another note next things on the list are:
I'm waiting on my interior to show up so I can put it in
Sound system round #2, Center Console with 4 10s and new components all the way around
Tow Mirrors
Install 4.56 gears and traction bars

Sounds awesome. What traction bars are you getting? I was thinking of getting some custom ones made for my truck, if and when I get a Rize lift kit, if it's possible, or I can buy 09+ traction bars from Rize and get them custom fabricated to my truck. I'm not quite sure which way would be cheaper, or better, but I have plenty of time to think about it.

Interesting... I was going to get those trac bars too, but if I got a Rize lift kit then it may be funny; Pro-comp & Rize.

I don't know who your talking to, but I'll throw in a comment. I could definitely use trac bars. Not only does my truck ride rougher, because of the leaf springs, but you can feel every bump in the road. Although my truck doesn't lose control in the rear end that much, I still would like them to stiffen the ride.

Either one of you guys... I don't have a 6"+ lift so I was wondering.. Guess I'd have to drive mine to figure out if it's different... Saw a YouTube video of a guy that mounted a camera under his truck to see what it was doing..
