I love high water and flooding signs...like a bee to honey...muahahaha
same here, i got home then turned around to go and find any more flooded or washed out roads to play on. i love being able to go most anywhere. i learned today that i really really want a locker. i had trouble on some hills on my normal trails. at least i think a locker would help get up the slick hills. All this rain has turned all the dirt into mud . clay + rain= grease(undrivable)
By the way, NICE truck

There is a dirt road near here that always floods in one spot, I had water upto or past the top of my rims once. It stalled my buddys Cherokee.
Water sure is fun to cross. Nice looking truck too

The other night I was taking my girlfriend home after graduation at like 5 in the morning. There was sooo much water on the roads . At one point the road was flooded for almost a mile. It was fun except when I hit a spot about as deep as my hubs going 40mph, Woosh! water was everywhere I couldn't see anything. It was damn cool though

Runnerboy97 - Very Cool Truck!
Is the 2.5" lift due to the Bilsteins or spacers or a combination of the two? I've lifted my truck about 2" with a set of HD OME springs and shocks - what would I need to do to raise the body/suspension enough to fit 285s similar to yours?

YEs the 2.5" lift comes from the spacers and the downey springs, i know most people can fit 285's with 2" of lift, but clearances are tight. I still get rubbing sometimes at full turn, but thats due to the backspacing of my wheels.

So you'd recommend another 1/2 to 1" of extra lift before fitting 285s? What is the best / easiest way to achieve that?

I would get other opinions about exactly how much lift should clear 285's. Anyone want to chime in onthis topic. I know some poeple will know a lot better than me about what works best.
Here's a little better pics of the tires and wheels taken in my driveway.
