THANKS RYAN!
I was wondering what was going on! They are the same style of rims and tires I had on the Exploder. But they are new. Now all I need to is ilft the rear a bit.

The tires are 33s.
As far as Attica goes...B/c the turbo on my other car cost me my play money I will be sticking around Denver for a while.
Oh...by the way the truck is just Dirty...It is in great shape. Not that you can tell from the pics!

I am using a 5.5 in Superlift from a Explorer in the front and 3 inch add-a-leaf in the rear. The rear is sitting a little low so I will be adding some extended shackles in a week or so.

I only flared them 1.5 inches. You can flare them up to 3inches.
If you look at the inside of the wheelwell you see a panel spreading the bed side from the bed and supports holding the bottom out. Cut a line thru the spreader and use a scissor jack to spread the fender out the desired amount. then extend the supports by the same amount by ubolting them, cutting them in half and welding some angle in there to spread em. If you go more than what I did the re is a seam near the tailgate you'll need to cut as well.
Here is a link that shows some of the procedure. From start to end it took me 4 hrs to do both sides.
