Painted, now trying on new shoes
I got my truck out of the paint shop finally after four months and today I had a little time to try on its new shoes. I know that the tires were too much without a lift but I'm still trying to decided if a 4" lift will work or should I go with 6". Either way I don't have the money to spend on it but it's nice to dream.
Along with a paint job I had the seat recovered and new springs added where needed and the guy also recovered the dash pad and covered the metal area between the windshield and pad. I like the way it came out since the p.o. had cut a hole in the speaker area. Here's a few pics...tell me what you think.

Re: Painted, now trying on new shoes
Your going to need at least 6" lift to clear that tall & wide of tire without rubbing.

Re: Painted, now trying on new shoes
I'd definitely go with a 6" lift too, for a tire that wide. Should look awesome!
