35" bfg's with 2" spacers and straight piped duals

get those damn spacers off lol. Wouldnt use them unless absolutely necessary. Like i need to run spacers to fit my wheels on the hubs, and even then you have to use blue locktite and re-tq very often. be careful.

Lol i appreciate the concern, but i did alot of reading before pulling the trigger on the spacers and yes i did torque them to 150 ft/lb's and used loctite, but the american racing wheels came off of a ford super duty so i needed the 2" adapters to be able to intall them on the correct lug pattern, and eliminate any rub from the wide tires

Jesus that is one sexy truck. And I don't even like the lifted look. Great job man

Thanks man. I feel like it's practical. It'll handle some fairly extreme wheeling but it's not over the top to the point where it's not a reliable daily driver.

All the little details is what makes it so "stand out" to me. It's not too much, but doesn't look like you were trying too hard either. I love it man. Wanna trade? Lol

Haha it's always for sale, everyone has their price.

Nobody wants to pay my price at 30k, but that's where I sit with it haha

I tried to make everyone as functional as possible. Gears and lockers, the lift is a long arm so it's not only ground clearance I've gained, but articulation as well. TireGate looks cool, but it carries my full size spare so I'm not calling a tow truck in case of a flat. I Rack on the spare tire carries my license plate, and I'll be mounting up some Roto Pax on that as well, one 2 gallon fuel and one 2 gallon water. The rock lights are red to incorporate into the theme, but they're bright enough to be functional while out wheeling. Bumper is high clearance and low profile, winch, lights, etc. The halo's on the small lights look cool while red for photo's, but I switch them to amber and they work as running lights. Louver keeps the motor cool.

There's more, everything serves its purpose haha

Sounds like you put more thought into it than most would. I love the spare rack. I think that's what sets it off the most giving it that rally/sand dune look. I can't wait until I get mine to the performance level I want so I can start doing the little details like this.

Literally the only thing I would change on the truck if I had it is the steps. I like the look of these better personally cc0b79d19854af297571adb6cb709087.jpg Truck looks real good regardless
