Lift and Tires are on!!!

I finally got my RB 2" body lift (Thanks Roger) and 34x10.5x15 Swamper LTBs on today...after Interco sent Discount Tire 31x10.5x15 Thorturds instead they overnighted my new ones to get here today...will post more pics after I wheel with em a bit. I've still gotta pound down my pinchweld and maybe cut back my fender a bit to get rid of the rubbing in front, other then that everythings all good and the power loss really isn't that bad so far.

After 2" Body Lift:



After Lift and Tires:

Looks great! Now go out and test them and post some more pics with a dab of mud in the treads.

How'd you get past your body lift problem? (Sorry if I missed any update on that.)

I went and tested em out a little tonight but forgot the camera...I'll take some in the next couple days. I just got out the hammer and kroil and beat on the mounts a bit and they popped loose.

Looks great. I love to see people using skinny tires to keep their rigs lower, you'll love how it performs.

Very nice! I thought I saw you today....

Any problems with your truck after jumping dunes? That was fun, until Mark broke my back!

Shannon-where was I?...I may have seen you but then again there's quite a few Runners out there. No real problems I've seen as of yet just got a loose connection somewhere in the ignition I've gotta track down and my bump stop brackets are twisted and bent up.
The tires really aren't as bad as I thought they'd be on the street, a little rough below 20-25 mph but above that just a little noise, kinda like a prop plane.

You were coming down Woburn towards Iowa St. and I was heading up to Lakeway. I thought you looked at me but it's hard to tell with your tinted windows.

You caught some big air in Mike's video, very cool!

looking good

Trucks looking sweet. Out of curiousity why'd you go with the 10.5 instead of the 12.5's? Also thanks for you're help again.

Funrunner, what video? I'd like to see silver's truck in action. Links?

Please right click and save onto your hard drive. It's not my video so I hope it's okay with Mike. The video is of WATTORA at Moses Lake last weekend.

looks awsome, I sure like those meats.... !

Isn't it funny how new tires are like tequilla, in that they make you feel bullet proof I'm waiting for the next mud adventure you post!!

Shannon-ok I remember now, so that was you I couldn't tell as I drove by.
Morph-good to hear you got your truck fired up, I went with 10.5 because thats the only size they make in the 34 and I couldn't fit 33x13.5s w/out alot of rubbing....how I ended up with LTBs I really don't know other then they're cheap and GrnTaco recomended them highly.
