Thanks for the offer, but I already have new shocks. They're just not mounted on the frame because it needs one more good coat of paint before final reassembly.

I like the way 255/60R17's look and work on our trucks. They have a nice 10 inch footprint and would still be easy to steer even without power steering. Being 29 inches tall they will fill out the wheelwell real nice especialy if you are going with a 3 to 4 inch front drop and 4 to 5 inch rear drop.

Re: Let's start a stepside thread.

Don't think that's TN. At least I've never seen anywhere around here that looks like that. The think I like about KEH's truck is his driver's side marker light.

Re: Let's start a stepside thread.

Mine's hiding. Or hibernating for the winter.



Honestly I don't know what to do with this truck. The other one's the fixer. I may just turn this into a daily driver after getting a carrier bearing and brakes on it.
