That's why I said what I said lol. If he wants a 14 inch wide wheel, go with at least a 14 inch wide tire. If he wants a 12.5 wide tire, go with either a 12 or 9 inch wide wheel.

The taller the sidewall, the less ****** ride you'll have. At least that's my experience.

Well.......... to a certain level. Once you get a lot of sidewall, you start to get the bouncy balloon effect from the tires. When I was young and stupid, we put 39.5" Super Swampers on a 15x12 on a Toyota. We had to run stupid low tire pressures to keep the thing from acting like a pogo stick on the road....... :roflsquared:

im not expecting everyone to like it when its done. id really like to go 355/40 on tires, but theyre just ******** expensive and this isnt a truck im going to die with.

annnnnd.. its 2wd. so its useless anyway.

Not necessarily useless... Just not as convenient. Put a winch on the front and you're quite capable, just not as capable lol...

i wish someone made a LT/MT kit for these trucks. i know theyre heavy AF but it would be a blast baja-ing through a corn field in one at full tilt. i heard rumors of an atomic kit but theyre like 5grand for just the front.. which is really, really, stupid.

They do, they're just really expensive. And they're one off custom jobs done by some company out of San Diego. Can't remember the name.

atomic? i saw that kit.. but its like 5k. theyve lost their rabbit ass minds if they think two control arms and a couple bushings are worth that much. im in the wrong career evidently.

i found a kit for an 06-08 4x4 thats long travel.. wonder what the difference is. hmm.

4wd long travel? Post a link.. I haven't seen one yet

4wds have coil over struts. 2wds have just coils and separate shocks. Lower control arms are a lot different as a result.

They made it step side, that's why it looks bad but it's a good job, but I could have sworn it was a 4wd...



No it's the fact that the silver is not level with it self they should have started it at the same spot
