Adapters: 1.5" Mark MC - 6x5 to 6x5.5
Wheels: KMC Addict 17" Matte Black, +18 offset

Thank you to everyone who helped make my truck what it is today!

Ha, ha! I actually just rinsed it off because it had mud slung all over it! It's definitely going to be a lot dirtier now that the tires stick out so far.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!

Looking proper! I'm impressed.

 

[fletch09]

nice

Can you take a pic from the front and side with the wheels straight? Also do you have any rubbing issues when turning? Seems that in reverse they show up easier.

 

[NewfieEnvoy]

Looks awesome, great job.

 

[fadyasha]

Great job looks great ! Welcome to the other side!

 

[jham]

[Cable810]

Nice I have to aks where did you get your 4x4 decal?? Me want one!!!

 

[Blckshdw]

Sweet looking setup you got there

 

[CruzinQueen]

Look up "reflective 4x4" or "Weston signs decals" on eBay. They have a great selection and their prices are good. I'm going to be swapping this one out for a silver/black one as soon as it warms up outside.

Again, thanks everyone for the compliments. I will try and snag some better pics this weekend (front and back as well).

Yes, it did rub intially, but we cut a lot of material out of the plastic fender liners and now it is much better. There is still a little bit of rubbing in reverse with the wheel fully turned - I will investigate that soon. No ball joint grinding was necessary with the +18 offset and wheel adapters. Overall, I am very pleased!

Have you noticed a drop in gas mileage? If so, How much?

 

[CruzinQueen]

Here are some updated pics of the truck. I haven't really noticed a dramatic decrease in fuel mileage.

I still need to get rid of the "trash can" hanging off the back.

 

[Blckshdw]

Lookin clean n' mean!!

 

[mikeinDE]

WOW that looks great, and it's just a 2.5" suspension lift on it??

 

[CruzinQueen]

WOW that looks great, and it's just a 2.5" suspension lift on it??

Yes, with the tires, it's more like a 4" total lift.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Normally I don't like black wheels, but... I do have to say that I do like it here.

 

[Razorback]
