I bought a 2000 with 220,000 miles to use as a farm/beater truck. I was going to leave it alone but got bored with it right away. It has 37s on it now but I am going to get some 325/60r20 duratracks this week and tint the windows. I am really happy with the outcome. Pretty sure I can still get a gooseneck over it and need to get my fuel barrel in too. I also need to find some tow mirrors.
When I brought it home
lifting...
We finished up Dads truck yesterday so I was comparing height
Looks great! You really need to find some tow mirrors ASAP! Those Nemo mirrors look really out of place. It will also look good once you get the tint put on. I wish my farm truck looked that good....
My wheels on my 08 are 22x10.5 Greg Welds, -24 offset and 37 inch BFGs. I have some of the same wheels in a 20x10 that I was going to put on but the black looked good for this truck. I am in Cherokee County. I have some buddies down by you with a diesel shop in Bennington. Thats where my 08 is right now getting head studs and bigger turbos.I'm not sure if I will paint the cover to match but I will if I can get an 08 tailgate that needs paint. Thanks guys
How much lift, just a level, shackle or spring?? All of your trucks look great man! Its amazing how much better the 05+ front end looks than the 99-04 IMO! Your dads truck looks sharp, great stance!
I dont know how much lift is on it for sure, I know the guy before me had an add a leaf and I put on 2 more with a mini pac. I have 37s on it and they barely rub so maybe a 4 inch? It rides really good for having an ass a leaf.
looks great, come a long ways! Now all it needs is to be debadged, or at least with 05+ emblems on it, lose the chrome lower part and tint the windows!
I dont like the chrome bottom either but I have taken it off a truck before and the paint came with the 3m tape. I will get tow mirrors and tinted windows. Thanks alot guys.
I got a few more things done and took better pics, I am really happy with it.
