Jim do you have a pic of your whole rig after the lift?

I am gonna be running the ome lift (as soon as I get off my ass and get it installed!) with 265/75/16's. I was just curious as to how small they really looked with lift! GRrrr now I'm gonna need new tires!:pat:

If keeping it clean is an issue for white wall out, Try Bleach White(even a windex) from walmart, scrub it with a hard brush, it is SO easy to clean. Mine still looks brand new after about a year. and yea this is an OLD thread lol

White out . That's why they make tires with white letters. Guess some guy's think that they are marked that way so they will know that the white letters go in,Lol.

Nope. They are marked that way so you can tell who wheels their rig. A nice set of raised white letters is a sure sign that the rig never sees anything more difficult than the mall parking lot.

I ran letters out on my 32's and after the first run, they were trashed and detracted from the look of the truck. Never again.

Raised white letters are for street rigs. Go buy an off road magazine and count how many rigs you see with raised white letters showing. Then do the same with a street mag. I rest my case

Are you ever going to come play with use again Ray? Or did we scare you off?

Still looking for someone to help me with installing a lift and drop bracket.....I'll be joining you guy soon, def. for Tahuya, that was fun My job took away my weekends for a while but now I have it back, hopefully I'll be at the scene more often

I think that white out on BFG a/t or m/t looks nice but if you have black rims you have got to go black out.
