westypoo Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Well today I just had to test fit my new wheels and tires. Tomorrow I start on the axel swap and lift kit install over the weekend. The wheels are a dirt circle track wheel. There DOT approved for certain class rules. But the good thing is that you can order almost any BS you want. I got a 15x8 with. 2" BS. Yes they stick out but it's kinda what I wanted. And yes I'm aware of my ball joints and wheel bearings.

grinch Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Looks awesome, amazing progress! What size tires? 33s? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desbennett004 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Looks great! Going to paint mine similar to this, the only difference is I'm going to do the flares and bottom 8 or 10 inches as well as the top rails of the box and the bed in raptor liner.

westypoo Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Well after this long weekend I got the long arm 4.5in lift kit installed, and swapped in the C8.25 rear end. All it all it want too bad. Today I also moved the front flairs up 2 inches to accommodate the needed room for these big 33's. I feel the flairs turned out quite well. They will have to work untill I can order up some notch customs fender flairs. Well here the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88whitemanche Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 How do you like those headlights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westypoo Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 The headlights on low beams are fairly good. On high beam tho there lacking quite a bit. I'll get some pics tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westypoo Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 So I took the truck out for its first outing on the local Bangs canyon playground here. I'm quite happy with it so far. The next day I went back out in the same area but it got super muddy and we ended up not finishing the trail. I'm not really into my truck getting super muddy. It cost me almost $20 and about 35mins just to get it clean the next day. well here the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desbennett004 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Are those Trail Rated badges you have? I was thinking of getting some Mall Rated badges for mine. Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westypoo Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Last night I got the stock bumper installed. I will paint the rest of the bumper. I bought a bolt on 2" receiver adapter. But I welded it on rather then bolting it on. This should hold up OK untill I can afford some JCR bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 That 4.5" kit sit level when it was all said and done? I have the same rear axle C8.25 and went soa in the with 4.5" coil up front. Without the new shocks in the rear, the measurement from the bottom of the fender lip (without the flairs) to the ground is almost 2 inches more in the rear compared to the front. Sorry for the nooby type question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustyinthedirt Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 How do you like the red letter grabbers? I’ve had a set on my truck for a bit and have really mixed feelings about them. In the mud/snow not really a fan but on the rocks I wouldn’t have any other way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90BlackMJ Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 That paint job turned out great. Really shines. Wheel and tire combo really sets it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
