Yeah 5.29s with 33s and duals is great on the trail. I do a bit of highway driving though so Im stepping up to 35. Im going to run the 35s on my 15x8 wheels.
Heres a few more recent pictures after the rear up front and crossover

Hey SpecialScotty, I was wondering since your were using the gray interior if you would want to sell some of the brown interior. I need a brown driver side kick panel? Nice thread, good luck with the build.

Great build Scottie, but I thought you were going to paint the beast grey. Or was that only the inside. Keep up the good work.

Yes sir. Most of the wheeling pics that I have are from when it was still on 33s.
The rims are 15x8 with 2.5 inch backspacing

looks good with the 2.5BS. I wanted to get them same but 4wd parts didn't have it in stock. Any issues with such little BS? I had heard wheel barrings would be a issue.

Did your driver front tire rub the lower fender well on that picture second from the bottom? Mine rubs when I tweek it hard.

how did you mount your SmittyBilt winch without fabbing a new front bumper?

did you have to modify the stock bumper?

I just used the trail-gear winch plate and cut my stock bumper to fit. At that time my truck has a three inch body lift. I dont think you can do it without a body lift
