So as some of you know I recently got new tires on my truck http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/60002-new-shoes-2.html

Wellllll that started a whole new problem that had them rubbing on the upper control arm

So I than had to buy new rims that pushed the tire out more and that gave me a whole lot of rubbing on the front and rear fenders (knew I had to get a lift with the new rims before I ordered them)

Well after a few days of working on it with a friend of mine we were finally done! It was a lot harder than I was expecting .... we had to drop everything down the front diff the rack and pinon had to swap all the parts out inside the knuckle extend the brake lines and the list goes on haha

It's finally done and I'm loving it! Wish I had done it sooner though onto the pics :Picture:


New Rims Moto Metal 18"x9 -12 offset

Had to give her a quick wash with Super Slick and Wax and used QD+ as the drying aid

Congrats on making your Truck look that much Better!

Clean lift :dblthumb2:
 
How big of tires did you end up going with? I know on my GMC I have 20" dale jr rims wit -25 offset and 275/60 on it and that was before even a leveling kit.

Haha yea I think doing a re gear is in the future seeing as I'm going to be towing my 8,000 lb boat around I can feel it struggling to pull those 35's around lol
