Alright, that's what I thought.

Woe, little to much Camber on those suckers lol, must of been a fun ride. Those yours ? They must have bump steered like a biatch lol. That's easy to fix tho.

You going to use them anymore , at all?

the story on those goes like this.

i was looking for a set of 35"s on craigslist and one of the guys i called had his sold and being picked up last night. the guy that bought them called me and agreed to sell his old ones to me for 40 bucks. good deal for me since those two were the bad ones the other two were good.

turns out though when he was getting them put on one of the new (used) tires it was messed up and didnt hold air. so he kept the two good ones, one on the truck and other as spare. he sold the busted one back to the guy he bought them from and gave me the other two.

they are only gonna be used as spare tires, one under my truck and one will be going to b2therad

im gonna make it work haha. got one of my old 33"s under there for right now.

new pics. i went to the tire shop and walked out with some 315/75/16 BFG's for 300 mounted and balanced on a set of 16x10 eagle alloy wheels for 200.

love the look and the truck really handles the tires well. gonna have to see what gas mileage is gonna be

Oh **** Jake!!! I didn't know you got the front end on! I take back my statement about staying with a 98 bumper, it looks realllll good. And so do the wheels.

Thanks guys I really like the look of the front end.

I had to put it all on so I can line up the light bar so I can mount it. Then it's all getting taken apart and getting fresh black paint for the top pad and valence while the metal is getting lined.

Still up in the air about the grille and surround and doing ptm and Patman grille

I also have to trim a tiny bit off the valence on the right side. It was already trimmed some but I rub just a hair. Didn't rub on the 98 bumper though

Looks great bud! Can't wait to see the front end all painted up and finished. Some black textured OE-style fender flares would look good to connect the line-x on the body with the new bumper.
