Looks good!

You can also put multiple pics in a single post - just put the different URLs with the [IMG] tags on different lines. FYI.

Looks good with 4 in springs though I would ditch the body lift unless u plan to drivetrain lift and don't want to redo the tunnel. The 4 inch springs are tall enough to clear 39.5's with minimal effort so you'll be over lifted IMO and why are you against tg springs in the rear? There alot better then 63's IMO other then that sounds good I'm not sure what type of wheelin you want to do but I like the rocks and there all about being low with big tires!

I want to see how the truck sets up with the 4" springs an BL first before I take the BL out. More than likely I'm going to cut the BL to either 1" or 1.5" only because I plan on 3.4 swapping in the future. but yes I agree it might be a little tall with the 3" body with the 4" springs. and the chevys because they allow more droop and flex than TG springs, i do more mudding theres not a whole lot of rocks and crawling in WI so I want to be HIGH lol

Honestly for what your doing then the Chevys will be better do to price but the only thing they have over TG is the ride. They don't have great departure angle you have to run retardely long shackles and there's just so much more spring to catch on stuff. There a great cheap alternative but I wouldn't ever put them on any of my rigs if I was going to do cheap springs I'd go with f150's.

Anyone have any opinions? I want 37x12.50x15 IROK radials for my truck because its about that time to be thinking about tires but I'm not sure if that will be too much for the street or not. keep in mind my wheeling spot is only 15-20 min. from my house and wheeled every weekend and driven to work daily during the week not very far to my work... not very long distances.. Anyone have any input? Otherwise I might step down to 36x13.50x15 IROKS. I have a 22re, header, full exhaust, and 5.29s....THANKS

Alright, I heard IROKS are pretty soft even in the radial tire and wear pretty quick on the road? any truth to that? I just love the lug design and how they perform offroad
