Looks good man! Need more details on tires and wheels and more pics!

 

[bill3616]

Thanks, The wheels are 20x10 -24 moto metal 967. I have the Amp MT 35x12.50x20(The only reason I have them is because of a crazy deal at one of the local tire shops) It rides awesome! A whole lot better now that I removed that front spacer. I tell you I've been wanting to do this for a while! I got a lot of good information from here. So thanks to everyone who participates. I"ll put up some more pics after I give her a bath. weather is pretty bad today, so probably tomorrow.

Looks good bro!!

WHAT SPACER DID YOU HAVE ON PREVIOUSLY?

 

[bill3616]

I had a 3" ebay spacer upfront and 1 1/2 in the rear. Thanks for the compliment. I am getting some hubcentric rear wheel spacers tomorrow.

You have to run wheel spacers on 35's? That seems odd.

Very nice truck! I'd like to see a pic down the side of the truck. Wanna see how the wheels look sticking out as I'm gonna be running 20x10 with -24 offset as well. She looks killer.

He doesn't have to. But since these and other 2wd spindles increase the track width up front ~1.5" each side, running 1.5" wheel spacers in the rear allows the rear to have the same track width as the front.

Oooooohhhh.... Makes sense then. I wasn't aware the spindles pushed the wheels out.

I will definitely get some better pics tomorrow. Its a monsoon right now. What do you guys think about pocket flares? Im not sure if the investment is worth it. Holy crap they are expensive!!

 

[Cruizer]

Do you have to deal with any gravel? If so I'd say it'd be worth it. I think they'd look good too. I like the pocketed color matched on those dark trucks. I was thinking about pocketed, but I don't like them in red and the black thing doesn't work for me either. Think I'll stick with some like the 2500 has.

 

[WhiteExpress]

I personally don't like pocket flares. That's just IMO.

Truck looks amazing!

 

[bill3616]

Thanks man... Im probably going to go with out.

 

[Pburg375]

Wow man that is a sweet looking ride! You mentioned your ride got a lot better without the spacer, any road dancing?

 

[bill3616]

No road dancing. When I had the spacer in, whenever I would hit a pot hole or bump and the front wheels dropped, it sounded horrible!! crashing , banging, ect. Im sure it was because I had such a big spacer with bilsteins for a 2500 up front. I am just so glad I did not get any damage to the A arms & ball joints..

 

[bigbadram1500]

nice!

Truck looks awesome! I'm defiantly going to be getting pocket flares for mine. I love the look.

 

[BULLRAM]

Truck looks great, I had the same thoughts when I first put mine on about the flares, I bought them spent 400.00 more to paint, then put them on, it looked odd....just not enough lift or size tire...I took them off and put them up, I reinstalled them about 4 times more, they never grew on me, I traded them for stock flares which really stick out a lot, and he also gave me 250.00 so I did ok, I love the new flares, for me just enough to stick out..

 

[bill3616]

I think think that looks better. Maybe I will go that route. Are those the 2500 stock flares?
