Looks alot better. You did not get enough height to run 35" or there not in the budget?
Nice looking truck too. -Later

What lift did you use?I though it was already lifted.Was it a body lift?My guess is,you`re using 33s so it`ll fit in the garage.Doesn`t someone make 14.50/33s?Congratulations on the project!That would be real easy to procrastinate.

I would have been scared to drive that, where did all that rust come from? The beach?

i would seriously look into some narrower rims. 12.50" wide tires on 10" rims are really pushing the limits. a couple psi too low, and you'll be losing beads left and right. not a safe situation no matter where it occurs.

Yeah, I think mine are 9.5 if they make those. Seem a little bit to wide but maybe not.
Dam that would be pretty scary with all that rust. I did not see that picture the first time I looked at the pictures. -Later
