Thanks to everyone one this forum, i read the entire posts on the spacer lifts and the body lift. This forum is the single best resource it is amazing. Anyway finished product, Front 2.25 spacers and Rear 2.0 spacers from Brandon, and the 3" body lift part 883.... everything went on just as advertised, it was not easy but i was prepared due to the previous posts. The wheels are 20x9 KMC HOSS with 0 offset and 4.5 backspacing, they do not rub at all. the tires are nitto terra grapplers 305/55/20 witch measure actual 32x12... Thanks to all.

USAF_Firefighter · 07-09-2010, 07:52 PM

*thepotroast* · 07-09-2010, 08:04 PM

Looks really good, good choice on the tires....I really liked my Terra Grapplers

Time to do something about that tailpipe now! I cut my tip off just at the bend until I could get a performance exhaust added....made it look 10x better and took 30 seconds with a cutting wheel and sawzall.

I know it looks terrible, cutting it off didnt make soot form on the rear door or anything like that?

USAF_Firefighter · 07-09-2010, 08:33 PM

i have a couple buddys in nellis as well, in the FD. fishing sucks this year for kings and reds, lets hope the silvers run as good as that truck looks!!!

milladog · 07-09-2010, 09:05 PM

Wow very nice ride with the new shoes and lift. Did you find a deal on the wheels?

jetjock15 · 07-09-2010, 11:57 PM

4wheelparts had a 4th july sale got the wheels for 231 a piece no tax free shipping, they are normally 285... I printed out the quote and took it to my local discount tire and they sold me the wheels for the matched price and mounted and balanced them for me, so i thought that worked out good

CALDWELL · 07-10-2010, 02:12 AM

This is awesome

just touch up the plastic trim to match those sick rims !

Nope.

zerodevil · 07-10-2010, 02:29 PM

I LIVE IN ALASKA TOO! Over by sandlake in anchorage. I deffinately like that lift, was it a huge pain to do? Im looking at doing the body lift and 2.25 spacers here in the next 6 months before i ship out to BCT. Then hopefully i can get a good deal on some new 18 inch shoes and 285's In either BFG mud terrian's or Goodyear duratrack's. eventualy 4.10 gears, new LS rear differential, and a locker in the front. Worst part of doing this in AK is the crazy shipping charges. To get the Brush gaurd i wanted i am looking at 500 bucks for the grill, and another 250 in truck freight to get it here...just unbelieveable.

That looks great! I see another set of BIG wheels in the garage. Doing another project?
