Great looking - looks good at all different lift and tire sizes you posted. Which combo did/do you like the best?

Re: New to the site, check out my ride : )
Thanks for the compliments. I've owned this truck for 3years..I would say the best look is the 5" on 33s. The reason I say that is because I'm a short guy and it's easy for me to get in and out of. Another benefit is the performance, best way I can describe it is it seemed lighter and quicker. The truck sits in primer, I have yet to finish the bodywork on the hood, tailgate, and doors, what color should I go? Thinking of doing a light blue, something along the lines of baby blue. I'm having trouble uploading pics from my phone I will post more as soon as I figure it out.
Break Down: 406ci sbc Th350 w/Hughes torque converter 373 gears with auburn pozi front and back Wheels are Weld Stone crushers 15/12 Tires are super swamper tsl/sx 33/15.5/15 Stay tuned. |

Re: New to the site, check out my ride : )
Real nice truck, thanks for sharing, I like it best with the 37's but I am crazy just went from 38.5's to 40's on my truck, but then again I have a hard enough time getting in and am 6ft. being short wouldn't help. There are steps available. Light blue may be a real nice color for it. Cool rims. Keep posting 4x4's are my fav.
Mudman.

Re: New to the site, check out my ride : )
I just like the 37" tire size and lift, but overall I do like the rim width and Swampers better as a tire. they look good being so wide. Cool truck how ever you look at it.

Re: New to the site, check out my ride : )
I agree. The 35s I had were the widest. They measured 18.5" in width

Re: New to the site, check out my ride : )
The one thing about a smaller tire is wheel speed and less weight. Going bigger takes a lot more to turn and makes it a higher gear ratio, more highway friendly but less town. Bet the 33's really rip in the sand.

Re: New to the site, check out my ride : )
Nice lookin truck before and after. The 33s look too small to Me though. I'm running 5 inch lift and 35x12.5 on mine and think its Perfect. 37s are pushing it on stock axles. I broke two rears On 35s so went 3/4 ton and now haven't had a problem except breaking a Detroit In the rear. I went with true blue color On mine which is just Slightly darker than the stock baby Blue color or Sky blue color it Was stock.
