Don't know if you saw the other post about the 2" blocks correcting it. Without the blocks, the trac bar hits the notch before the axle goes all the way into it. To correct it, just install the blocks ON TOP of the track bar mount and it gives you just enough clearance. The pumpkin will more than likely hit the bed when aired out too. Congrats on the buy and post pics through the process!

thanks for the heads up ! parts came in but they sent some cheapo tires by mistake so had to send them back here is a snap shot . the 265/35 tires look to be a bit taller than i thought but i cant imagine getting anything smaller cause fear of damage . these memphis screets arent getting any better so we will just have to see how they look on the truck.

Those look good to me as far as height...any shorter and like you said...the roads would eat up the rims....

Re: im stoked ! orderd wheels and bag kit today

actualy looking at them in person and in a picture on my phone the tires look to be taller in profile but after postin a picture here on this big computer screen they look perfect to me ! at any rate i wont alow myself to go any smaller i have jacked up too many wheels in my days that have left me stranded with a flat tire lol .

HAHA . what a great day it was at the scrap yard ! i was feeling so good on the way home i decided to get the bag kit while my money was up . funny thing is that i had both the wheels and the bags orderd and paid for before i even got home from the scrap yard haha . what a great day thanks for letting me share my excitement board ! ill post pics of the wheels soon.
Probably better than SEX....(at least for Today)!
CONGRAZ!
