Big tires with little lift - Let's see them

Here is mine, yes it actually moves under it's own power now. 
6" Alcan fronts (49", center pin 1.5" forward)) with relocated front shackle, 2.5" Alcan rears (54"), shackle flip, 1" body lift, and 39.5" TSL's...plus just a smidge of fender trimming.

4" front, homegrown shackle flip rear, little bit of trimming. 11.00x16 XZLs = 38.5"x12.50" actual size on 6.5"x16" stock Dodge wheels. Front axle is J**P J-20 Truck D44 and rear is Dodge D60. Both are a couple inches narrower than Chevy axles, so tires rub a little on the insides of the wheelwells. Basically, tall skinny tires fit surprisingly easy with minimal lift and trimming. Kinda reminds me of the lowrider look of the truck dropped down over the wheels and tires.
Severe trimming, flexy suspension, one tons, XMLs shortly.

Looking good Rene! I don't think I've ever seen pics of your truck with doors and top.tRustyK5 said:Here is mine, yes it actually moves under it's own power now.

Sure am glad they're on right now...it's still snowing. 
We already have over a foot and could see another 3-6" overnight. Hopefully a lot of people stay home from work tomorrow...

piece of cake to fix. I had 35's on my 83 toyota 1" body lift only. I chopped the crap out of the rear of the fender and hammered it back to the body mount. same idea on a chevy. just a "mini tub" on the bottom of the floor to allow for the tire to come back.
how wide are the tires you planning on running?
