6-285/75R16 BFG A/T's
7-shackles, t-bars, body lift
8-just added 12" Alpine Type-R w/2400watt Rockford amp


you got the t-bars cranked now throw some chevy shackles on there to get the natural rack of the truck back. when you put weight in the bed your truck will sag.... sag = gross

then some 33x12.50x15 M/T's
