    New to DFW

    How-To: Rear Bucket Seats - BIG PICS

    31x10.5R15

    Absolutely! :thumbsup: I have only ran 31/10.50's since I purchased my X. They run fine with no trimming, but I removed all my plastic trim and bumpers anyway. Of course a lift would be nice...:rolleyes:

    Yah...I like to feel kewl, but honestly, I will probably hold off for another year or so...pretty in-depth stuff. However, Im lucky to have a brother-in-law who knows what he's doing and has a lot of the stuff we will need. But, yah I see your point.;) By the way, on a scale of 1-10 (if thats...

    Nice Ex :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: I was leaning that direction...I think you made up my mind. And that was the PA-883 lift correct? And how hard in general was that to install or did you have a shop do it?
