lol, yeah i could probably get away with a 36-37 depending on how much more fender i want to trim. i'd rather have a smaller tire that tucks well than a little extra ground clearance. i'm just worried that those coils are too stiff and will limit the articulation. anyone else running F150 springs that can chime in?
 






inspection time lol

gotta love MA :rolleyes:

I have a set of stockers that i roll on every now and then. I cant fit on any allingment machines unless im on stock rims/tires
 






nice x u got there keep up good work
 






well that was a waste of time. no sticker for this rig in MA i guess. my old D35 that was about ready to fall out from under the truck was apparently safe enough for the state to pass, but now that i have basically a whole new suspension, that is somehow unsafe. makes sense.
i had one guy tell me it was because it's too top heavy. that might be true if i was planning on running those stockers all the time, but those boggers are so wide, it feels more stable now than when i had my 33s. guess i have to figure somthing else out...

edit: might try to have my sister register it in Florida (aka the inspection-free state).
 






So...had the day off from work...got bored...took my doors off. well, i got the driver's side done, taking care of the passenger side when i can get some more quick disconnect wiring harnesses. it actually came out pretty good. Used three individual 6 wire quick disconnect harnesses plus a single quick disconnect for the smallest gauge wire. 19 wires run to the driver's door. Replaced the hinge pins with grade 8 5/16 bolts. they're a little loose on the hinges but not bad. The sleeves were rusted to the hinge pins so they had to come out along with the pins themselves, so the door doesn't line up perfectly, but it's close. as far as the wiring, all the connections were good on the first try. so yeah...thought I'd share

EDIT: Uploaded some pics of what I did. It looks like a massive cluster f*ck of wires but you can see the three quick disconnects I have everything running to so it isn't that bad. Good, bad? What do you all think? And I'll take some more pics when I get the passenger door off
