Levelling Kit Wasn't Doing it for Me

After a four month wait my Toyo's finally showed up. I ran them with a levelling kit for a few days but just wasn't happy, the tires looked too big to me. So I got a 4.5" Trailmaster kit, haven't had it long but it drives great, and rides smoother than ever. I will order some ATS flares in the next few days. What do you guys think?

Looks great! I'd be interested in purchasing your leveling kit from you if you still have it! Shoot me an E-mail if interested.

I think you purchased one of the best tires in existance. Was it well worth the wait?

Truck looks fantastic btw, did you install the lift kit by yourself?

Truck looks great!! That is what I am looking to do as well, only with 20" moto metal 951s. How do you like the moto metals, so far ( I know you just got it done) any fit or finish problems? What size rim (18X10?) and back spacing did you go with?

Thanks guys, I didn't do the install myself, I have the tools and know how but currently don't have a good spot to tackle something like this. No problems with the rims, they are flawless. I hop the Toyo's wear as well as everyone says.

Truck

You will love the toyo's. I love mine every minute you are in the truck. I just hope that I can get another set when mine wear out. I am not sure how hard it is to get 37x20's. I love the truck and lift also. You will definately want fender flares. I went about a week and was ordering a set of bushwacker's quick fast and in a hurry. I couldn't keep the truck clean to save my a$$.

Thumbs up

Looks AWESOME. My leveling kit wasn't doing it for me either. I got the Fabtech 4.5" kit and will be putting it on this weekend. With 35x12.5x18 Nitto Mud Grapplers wrapped around Incubus Alloys Poltergeist8's.

That was a pretty nice day, a bit cooler than the previous week but lots of sun. Some would say we have 2 seasons here July and winter, but even when it's cold the sun is almost always shining. A big change from the coast for sure. I've never heard of incubus Alloys but I Googled it and those are some sharp rims, cool names too.

I can't comment on this personally but a buddy of mine at work has a set of the 951's on his Chevy 1500. He absolutley hates them, I dunno why though. They seem to be a decent looking rim w/ a nice quality finish. He says their hard to clean, his are peeling ect. Mabe he just got a bad set of wheels. They are becomming pretty popular though, im seeing more and more trucks with them now.
