Yay for Ammo.
 






LOL, now it's just waiting for payday and the tires. I know I'll have to trim the fender to fit 37s. I just hope that 12.50 on the stock rims don't hit the frame too much while turning.
 






37's?!?! Good luck lol :)
 






Man i keep looking at how much those T-bar drop brackets hang down....but other then that even with the Bl it doesnt look to bad at all.....and 37's??....maybe 35's?

I'm actually working on getting rid of the t-bars in another thread here, and I want 37s just because everyone else runs 35s lol. I know I'll be trimming, and my sawsall is my buddy, so it's all good. :D
 






Even with glass and about 9" of lift in the front I rub on 37's (pinch weld). If your gonna do it I would only run 15x8s or like 4.5" of backspacing at least on a 15x10. Then again you like the sawzall so F it, run 40s.

LOL, I'm actually going to try and stick with the stock rims if I can. For some reason I just like the teardrops. Where do you rub exactly btw? I plan on taking the t-bar bolts completely out, and letting the truck squat as far as I can get it to, turning and trimming as needed.
 












I will be getting my tires this weekend, so I'll see what and where I need to trim. A buddy of mine pointed out today that I may run into a problem fitting the 12.50 on the stock rims at the upper ball joint. Has anyone run 12.50 on stock rims before? It's pretty close as it is. I'm really hoping not to have to change rims, but I suppose if I have to a really cheap set of 15x8 3.75bs will be in store.
 






Well, I ended up ordering some 35x12.50x15s. After looking at everything 37s would have taken way too much cutting front and back to keep them from rubbing off road, and I couldn't get 36s in the SSR (obviously the tires I ordered). Can't complain about $973 for the four. They'll be here Tuesday, and hopefully on Wednesday with pics to follow.

Awwwwww :( i wanted to see a expo on 37s it would look nuts. But oh well 35s are big enough i guess
 






Actually there is one on here running 37s, but he's a pavement pounder. That's why I was looking at trying it, but once I actually did all the measuring I decided 36s might work, but they don't make SSRs in 36. That is the tire I really wanted so 35s will work.
 






Well here's the tires on. I freaking love it!

very nice
 






Now I just need to gear and lock it, and it'll be good to go.
 






looks good man just need to get rid of those bars ya know i think with coil-overs and fenders you can run 38's with proper shock spring and trimming. BUT CONGRATS FEELS GOOD HAVE TO JUMP TO GET IN DOESNT IT>
 






I do love having to give it a little umph to get in. I think 36s are the biggest that would fit with out trimming the rear fenders too. Any bigger than that, and it looks like you'd run into the rear door itself. I can't wait to get rid of those bars too. Right now that's the only thing I hit.
