I just took these pictures - brrr it's cold and raining.
I have the 36" TSL radials mounted. The lift is 6".
My wife thinks it still leaves too much space in the wheelwell.
What do you guys think? They replaced my 33" tires.
Here's the pics I just took:

And here it was on the 33's (for reference):

Listen to your wife...and go buy some 40's /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

It looks good with the 36's, I think the low lift big tire thing is getting common enough that smaller tires on a low lift almost look funny. /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Some reason it looks small. There is a truck at school like yours with 6" and 35x12.5 mud terrains and it looks really good. For some reason at least in the pictures you tires look narrow to me and almost a little too small. Functionality wise I bet they are just right though so weigh it out. And hey if you go that route, when the 40s show up at the door and your wife flips about the money just say, well honey you said they were too small!
 
Maybe it's because it's a long bed...

They are 36-12.5-15s. I liked the 36-14.5-15s too, but they are about $75 more - each. No thanks. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif


Rene, I may go the 40" route eventually. I just hope I get my money's worth out of them...mmmm...new tires smell good....

BTW, the new treads look great! But they ain't big enough for all the lift you've got. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
Yeha i know what you mean, I was actually planning on puting the exact same tires on my K5(may still) but then I got the itch to get a new fourwheeler and well money can't be split both ways.
 
Looks sweet /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

That looks good to me. How about when it's flexed out, any rubbage ??? I'd even do some fender trimming on it now. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Ha, none so far but I don't get a lot of flex with it sitting in the driveway.

I'm working on the shocks now - it's not wearing any. I have the ford shock tower for the front and 55willy's shock kit for the rear. Also, a Doetsch Tech 8403 shock for each wheel. I just need to get it all on.
Once I have the shocks on, I can't help but think the front fender may need a little grooming...

At the hardware store, for $2.24 a can. Krylon black /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I want to paint the whole truck orange, but my money always goes to functional stuff vs. appearance stuff, and since the cab was already black...

Tires definitely aren't big enough, I can still tell you are trying to hide a Dodge behind the truck /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

Seriously, nice. I just upped the anty from 4" to 6" and cannot wait to get some new meats on... the 33's are diminutive /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
