^looks like a piece of *****. just kiddin man. I remember when you first joined and it was completly stock and you had all those stickers...now its got a clean stance and look to it. I noticed that in your first pic it looks like your bed rails are faded some, gonna paint those or anything?

 

hah yea its come along way.

and yea the bed rails are grey but i use the bed too much to want to paint and worry about them chipping

 

Looking good Jake!


Here are a few updated ones(with the newer rims)

 

I have an 02 2wd with an rcd 6" lift and 6" deaver springs in the back, im currently saving for my gears, a new locker, and tires. i was planning on putting a 3" PA BL on it and was wondering if you guys think im better off going with a set of 315/75-16's or do you think a set of 345/75-16's would clear.

 

what gears are you planning on? with the BL id go bigger than 315 since thats what im running with just my RCD 6" and barely rub on my valance due to my wheels

 

some good lookin trucks in this thread!

 

how are your deavers holding up? i heard theyre good for travel but suck at payloads..

 

Holy crap...you're truck must sit real butt-high. I have a Camburg 6.5 with F49 Deavers (3") and my truck sits level or barely butt-low.

That's because they were designed for the former and not the latter. So when you load up with tools and equipment (including 2 full-size spares on 2 spare wheels), it sometimes looks like this





But mostly it looks like this

 

i was thinkin along the lines of 4.88's with a set of 345/75-16's if you guys think theyll fit, i like my deaver springs and yes the payload aint the greatest but still better than stock and it rides a whole lot nicer than an AAL kit, plus i got 6" lift with no blocks

 

Just got my tires on monday, 285 75 16 km2s, with just a leveling kit.

 

Gatorcrew, your running 37x13.5s right? Here's mine after the spacers. Just need bigger tires now.

 

Yes Lightning, 37x13.5x20.....Sorry it took so long to get back, I forgot about this thread




BTW, love those Octanes!!!

 

Sorry, it's been a while since I've been on here because of school. Man, these trucks look great! Lightning...hands down my favorite expy! Just hurry up and get some 37's haha...those rims look good though, I'm a big fan of gloss black. And Gatorcrew...well, your truck is perfect as always..no surprise there! lol

Btw, update for my truck! I have a brand new set of 315/75/16 bfg km2's sitting in the garage at my house waiting for me to get home from school! Exam week is this week, so I have an appointment next Monday to get them put on. Pictures will follow soon! I've also installed a set of 5" springs in the back, and took out the fabtech 5" blocks...much better ride once they settle in! Now all I need is some new shocks and I'll be set!

So, any recommendations on shocks for the rear of my truck?

 

 

looks good man
