Thanks! I actually was bored a hit her with some polish since you saw it last. I gotta say she actually looks pretty good! Now to put some scratches and swirls back in the paint soon enough now that decent rubber is on!

 

How are these tires working out for you? I was thinking on going with the 265/60x18 Dunlop Rovers on a stock height truck. It looks like the dimensions are pretty close. I have the ACE and SLS systems too. I want a little better off road performance but don't want to mess with lifting it now. How is this setup working out for you?

 

Working out GREAT. Perfect little lift, low noise, still handles nice (although not *as* crisp with the higher sidewalls but I didn't expect it to be) and a nice look. Zero rubbing even at full lock or full suspension compression

 

Did you have to flip your spare mount or did the spare fit? My 255/55-18 looks pretty close to the bumper.

 

I kept the spare as the stock tire/size, but I assume I would have had to flip it if I went that route.

 

Figured that. I just went ahead and flipped mine tonight. Just had to drill some new holes and notch it for the wiper. Gave me about another 1.5 inches. Should fit the new rubber fine.

 

Here is the old spare on the relocated mount. You can see the space it gives you off the bumper.

 

I'm thinking about doing the same thing. about how long did it take you to do? Any tips or things to look out for? Did you trash any of the clips pulling the interior door panel off?
