Waiting for the rain to bring me some mud so I can get some "ride'n dirty" pics. Until then here is the truck clean and mean.

Looks good.

Get rid of those shock boots so you don't destroy your shocks by debris that gets trapped inside of them.

Alright it is killing me, what size are your tires? Other than those being really skinny, I like the look of your truck.

I would guess 33x10.50's.

Love the skinny tires!!! Very clean stance, not sure I'd go that tall for my truck, but I like the looks a lot.

Hey thanks for the comments

I haven't had a chance to do much wheelin yet so I can't say too much about the BDS lift. It's a good height though. The wife still wants me to get a step bar... but we'll see if I cave and get her one. Might just throw a milk crate in the box for her lol

I have lots of plans for this truck. Prolly eventually a 5.0L down the road when the 4.0L craps out (or I beat it to death). Got a matching canopy at home but that will go on when the snow comes and I need the extra weight. Haven't touched the gears yet, will prolly upgrade when I get bigger tires. Yep, you were right, the tires are 33"/10.50/R15 BFG M/Ts. I really liked the look of the stock alloys so I didn't upgrade them. Not sure if I could've gone with a 11.50 or bigger on the stock rims, but 10.50 suits the truck just fine. When the truck eventually becomes my 100% offroad truck I'm planning on swapping them out for wider 33" TSLs.

So you suggest I take the shock boots off, eh?? Might do. But is that a real problem getting dirt and crap stuck in there? Never experienced that before.

The K&N added a bit of power... even though most say that it doesn't do a whole lot. But I think it did for sure. Gives off a much lower tone as well. Works well with the Flowmaster 40 series I got on it. The only problem I found was with the MAF. It doesn't like filters with oil, and messes with the sensor. I sometimes have a rough idle, and sometimes wants to stall between shifts when downshifting. Still have to sort that out. Will probably also add a bigger throttle body.

mjones is definately going to beat me to it, but yes, remove the shock boots.

N/M, I beat him! Woot Woot, Anywho, when you get dirt underneath the boot it will just stay in there and collect moisture and will contantly score the rod. So rust and damage the shock by keeping the boot on. When you have no boot and you wash your truck, all of that dirt will wash away.
