I must confess , I'm not one of the high speed super humans over there that far in ( I do know several of them ). I'm just a simple mechanic that works on their Helicopters .... I AM from Arkansas so I guess I am kinda a super human !![emoji16]

Go Hogs !

That's the same set up I did about 40k ago ...I'm on stock tires for now . Yours looks better imo ..the CC always look better to me [emoji1303][emoji1303]

This is with 7,500 lbs of rock and trailer hooked up ...this is why I went with the 1.5" spacers For towing .

Love it love it love it. The stance is awesome. Tires don’t look out of place. Nice clean look. Right up my alley! Maybe next year I’ll work some extra hours and get me a set like this

Thanks y’all!

Funny story, after I finished installing the front wheels I took the truck for a quick spin. As soon as I got back I jacked up the rear to install the spacers, and that’s when I realized I lost the key to my mopar lock nuts. I was so pissed I said screw it, I’ll remove them with vice grips. I quickly learned these are not your cheap old school lock nuts. The sleeve around the nut actually spins so you can’t unscrew the nut, and the lip of the nut is angled so you can’t bite into it with vice grips. So I was forced to find the key.

After combing the garage and driveway, the only thing I could think of was maybe I had forgotten to remove the key from the nut when I went for a drive. My buddy and I hopped in my other car and took off at five mph looking at both sides of the street for the key. I stopped where I turned around last time and there laying in the middle of the road was my key.

I seriously thought, for a solid 30 minutes, I wouldn’t get to finish lifting the rear lol.

Now that’s funny! Glad you found the key though.

OK! So i realized the new tires had 72psi in them. Waaay too much. Very unpleasant driving experience. With 35 psi in the tires the truck drives 100%.
