lift and tire setup thread

[89eliminator]

lets get members to post their lift and tire specs and maybe put this into a sticky so that people can have something to base their decisions on what lift and tires to get.

Hope these work. They are hosted on Facebook and not taken by me. Don't know what the privacy settings are, nor can I change them.

 

Looks a little different now than it did in the second post of this thread.
