Yeah "Betsy" treats me well..... No i wasn't able to get the TJM up all the way, but it's close.... i'm working on modifying the brackets so they it'll go all the way up..
Travis, i'll be waiting for that call. when you do the BL are you gonna go up to 285's?
and I too have the supercharger bug.....

How does it flex? Did you just pound the crap out of that thing or do you rub?
Ranma,
I guess I COULD fit 35s, but it would rub horribly. Espcially with the stupid Limited fender flares. I think I'm going to stick to 33s next time around as my truck is still my DD and I already get about 16mpg. The ride was barely affected at all, though I took my swaybar off a few weeks ago so it already handles like poo. So its all the same to me now. Haha...

Thanks man!
I'm not sure when I'm going to get the bigger meats. I might ask for another set of wheels and tires for christmas then put the 285s on some alloys and get some 33" Destination MTs for the Tech1s. There is no way I can fit 35s because of my limited flares. Believe it or not the 285s are a little on the close side
. I just don't want to have holes all over the side of my truck.

Now its time for some 33" Destination MTs! I kind-of like the way it makes the 285s look like my 265s when I did my first suspension lift. I also like the way I actually have to get UP into my rig... thats definately a first for me
Anywho... here are the pics:

ROJO has by far the best looking runner that I've ever seen ! What size wheels are those? They look like 17"
I want some !
