Those wheels just don't look right with the truck lifted. The Mickey Thompson's will look a lot better.

I see somebodys got shackles...very nice...yours'll be pretty tall in the end...like HozII's.



I've gotta ask, if you havn't the time to do the entire truck, why do the easiest 2hr at most part of it?

you wont even see the drums with the new wheels on and for time, i work days my wife works nights and we both work every other weekend so when she is working i got the kids and when im working she has the kids. I started the lift at work on my lunch with a buddy only took us 1 hour to do the box and shackles. makes things easy whe nyou work at a garage.
