blue leds are comin next! (sorry about the blurry pic, i was driving)


then the plan is for a BL and 31x11.50 on some 15x8 aluminum. with a 3.73 swap out of the parts sploder.
then... i have a 302/np435/np205 combo just collecting dust in the building... who knows... :burnout:
 






The bumper looks great. Don't do a body lift for 31's... they'll fit without the lift. You might have to do a little trimming/hammering, but they look better stuffed to me than too tall. If you do a body lift, go 32's or 33's :).

Or... get 2" lift springs or spacers.
 






we'll just have to see what she looks like.. i have a set of 31's and a single 32... it all depends on the wallet.
 






i put 31x10.5 on mine stock with no body work/trimming at all. no rubbing. 31's look way to small with a lift.
