Let's see some lifted trucks.

Here is mine. It took some careful trimming ,axle moving, a little lift and a lot of on....off....on.....off...on with the tires,trial and error with backspacing.. but here it is.

40x13.5x18's on 18x12 Rims with a 2 yes a 2" lift and cutouts.
Yes it turns full lock to lock and will even turn while going over bumps WITHOUT HITTING.
What do ya think?
I will try to get better pics tomorrow.

the tire size is perfect on that white truck but it needs a bit more lift and it would look oh so amazing.

How much did you move the front axle forward? How? - custom main leaf spring? or redrilled axle perch? New spring mounts? Truck looks sweet!

305`s an add a leaf and it rubbed till I took off the flares (the tires were catching the flare and bending the bottom of the fender).This pic is the day I put the tires on, the truck is on the ground despite the lift legs being underneath.

Tire size question.........

I am currently running 16x7 Alcoa's and want to know whats the tallest tire I could run on the 16x7 wheels? Staying skinny on the width is fine by me, just want a higher tire.
