finally some real tires on that thing. Now it looks like an offroad rig instead of a lifted street truck :

Looks good, not a fan of the lights though, they look goofy.

The lights do look goofy, but they light some shit up. Function over form.:D
I built a light bar to go above the windshield but never got around to mounting it. It's on the list of shit to do.

Just gotta play with your spring rates and shackle angles once you get the shock and fender rubbage issue sorted out.

These are stock 52" chev leafs front and rear:
