Sure...

Wheels are 17x8 all around. Front tires are 255/50/17. Rear tires are 275/60/17

Suspension is BellTech 3 inch dropped spindle and 2 inch drop coil in the front.
In the rear, he runs a BellTech 6 inch flip kit with an extra 1 inch drop shackle. This still only effects a 6 inch drop though. He has 4x4 rear spring hangars, which are longer than normal 2wd ones. That required the dropped shackle to get the full 6 inch rear drop.

Engine wise, it's got a medium hot 350. Cam, intake, etc. Trans is a 700R4. Rearend is 3.73.

The beauty of this truck is that it's technically a 3/4 ton according to the VIN and title. It passes inspection without worrying about catylitic converters or anything like that. Here in Texas, heavy GVW trucks didn't get the full load of smog equipment that 1/2 tonners did. So, he gets a free rein on engine mods.
