Looks fantastic! . If I had the 6 cyl, I'd be lifting it no questions asked (as long as I got the wife to agree). I just can't imagine my little 4 banger liking to push a larger set of tires.
Thanks for posting the pics. Looks nice!
Did you stay with 265/75/16s on the MT rims?
I noticed mud got stuck in your rear tires, and some in the fronts. Do you have any complaints with traction in adverse conditions with the BFG All-Terrains? I think they look great, but wonder if they do ok in off-road or snow conditions like they advertise.

Thats sand not mud. I've had the tires on for about 6 months now and they've been great. Had lots of snow this winter and they were a ton better than the stock crap BFG Rugged Trails. As for mud, it's all heavy clay where I live so it it does clog up pretty easy, but anything but a mud tire would. I've never been stuck though!

NICE TRUCK!!! what kind of lift and what size tires did you get?
The front has D/R coilovers (got them Friday installed Saturday) cranked to 2", the rear is stock. Still waiting for the Deaver leaf 7 pack to be released for the rear. Once it's out and I save a little money I'll get it and match it with either the new D/R shocks or Bilstein 5100's. I'll probably also crank the coils to 2.5" when I lift the rear. Right now the front sits 1/4 inch higher than the rear, and any higher at this point without the rear lifted would look stupid. The tires are BFG 265/75 16 (32x10.50). Still need an alignment done though.

Tbrown-
Do you think 285-75-16 would fit with your new setup? I'm wanting to lift mine as well, but I want to max out the tire size. Also, I would like to keep the mudflaps, so I can minimize paint chips. Will your 2.5" lift fit 285's with the flaps? Would I need to go to a 3" lift to fit them instead?

If you ran a stock rim or a rim that has an offset close to stock(+15) they will fit. Actually I think Donahoe recommends a 285 tire when the coils are cranked to 2.5". With the negative offset of my rims though my tire comes close to the backside of the fender at about a 1/4 turn and then it opens up from 1/2 turn to full lock. I had rub on the mud flaps, but again that was because of the offset of my aftermarket rims. Stock rims have tons of room with a 2" lift and 265's. Also I'm only cranked to 2" so that 0.5" may make a difference.
your not wheelin enough, you should be trying harder
seriously tho, very nice looking ride. have you thought about tinting the windows?

Awsome
It just gets better & better.
I agree the rugged trails suck, they should have never gone away from the All Terrains.
What are the rear springs you`re talking about? I`ve been looking into raising the back more (only 1" w/kit) & increasing carrying capacity.
I`ve looked at air bags/shocks, trying to stay away from stiff add a leafs.
later ANTHONY
