The fronts do rub on the tie-rods at full lock - i popped off a wheel weight in the first 5 feet i drove it. It actually rides alot smoother now than it did, i wasn't expecting that! even the girlfriend commented on how much better it rode. the traction is amazing too, it just goes when I stand on it rather than bouncing and smoking. Comments welcome, even the required "it's nice - now bag it!"


(p.s. sorry for the huge pics!)

thanks dude! they were a necessity on the east coast, there isn't a rocker panel there with paint left on it.

I'd say the truck sits just about right now. Good job.

When those rears need replacing, get a set of 255/50/16s. Theyll be only slightly taller and wider. Will give it a nice meaty look out back. Sharp truck! Im partial to Indigo Blue =)
