Shocks are great, just a little too short.

I believe those are Dunlop Mud Rovers. [EDIT] I stand corrected. On that site, they do have some tires that look exactly like Dunlops though. Oh, well. [EDIT]

Good looking tire. Also seems to be a great tire for the money. I was going to look into those but my wife surpised me with some 31 Bridgestone Dueler M/T's. Needless to say, I do not have to go tire shopping for a while.


Good looking truck Hotshoe!

Great tire for the price. My wife suprised me with them a few years back. Happy Birthday to me!

Hey hotshoe, That looks great. Are those shocks in the stock local? I really like the bottom of the bed. I have an Idea for a rear bumper that extends the same way but the bumper would angle a little. Great looking truck Either way....Jay.....

Shocks mounted with Bud Built Hangers

I do not remember the lenght of the shocks.

I definitly looks like those springs could strech out a bit more. Are the shocks full compressed on the other side? Here is a couple pics of my flex with 1.5" AAL's and 4" longer shocks. You got a bit more flex than i got for sure...





Nice truck btw!!
