Finally Lifted!

[unabonked]

Ladies and gentalmen, it has been a long time coming. My Sport has finally been lifted: 2" rear, 1.7" up front. This morning I got my mudders. These are 32x10" Bridgstone Dueler MTs.

As of right now, I DO plan on keeping the valence. It looks good and even with it i still have about 18" of ground clearence. This truck won't be rock crawling, but will be seeing some nasty trails and access roads for my other hobby, photography.

The truck's name is HALO, wich will be on its vanity plates next year. I plan on putting 4 Hella 4" driving lights on the roofrack. These will have a glowing outer ring when my parking lights on, hence the name.

DC, the tires and alignment ran me about $950 at the local firestone. They have sales during the off season every so-often. I could have had it done last year for $750 but didn't have the money. Live and learn.

I plan on getting AALs next and need a good chock that will fit the 3-4" lift from stock height. Anyone know if the Ranchos (explorer+2") are the best fit?

Here is a pic of the rear tread pattern. Very nice and the lugs are almost an inch deep! The ride is suprizingly quiet but i did encounter some binding when i cut the wheel all the way. It is probably rubbing againt the tie rod, i'll see whats going on in the morning.

the steering isn't as crisp... kinda bouncy when going over rough terrain. I have a feeling this has more to do with the shocks then anything else, one of the reasons why i need to get new ones, but not sure what to get.

That is exactly what I want to do with my truck right now. Looks awesome, congrats.
