i got a buddy with a 03 ext cab with 5" rough country and 35s and his rubs to haha..... but i will say this im bein serious , he bought him some bushwacker cut out flares and before he put them on i held them up to my truck and they would fit right on without havin to cut out my fenders , but on his truck they wouldnt work unless u cut the fenders , its like my fender wells was bigger. Even the owner of the bodyshop and the guys that worked there didnt understand it...

who knows , all i kno is ive put alot of work & money into my truck... includin the $2400 worth of new rims & tires i ordered last week

go here and do a search around your area and it will list local people who sells them.... you should be able to go to any body shop and they can get you some....

thinking 30Hp plus added weight is gonna make any difference is a FAIL

if you only knew the half of it flip. your so naive. what you dont realize is that the reason people regear for bigger tires is that an auto trans controls the shift points and will be confused by the tires and downshifting alot. that isnt a problem with the manual trans. i open an offer for you to come drive the truck and see for yourself. ill get a video tomorrow if youd like.

also i dont change trucks just cuz the ppl at my high school think i have a small wiener cuz i drive a v6 waaaa. little butt hurt blue oval girl.

i still stand by my assumption that you totaled you other truck. and your gaining less than 30 hp since you had a 4.3 not a 4.2

Lastly whats really a fail is you "owning" four different trucks at 16 and choosing to drive the v6, saying its lifted with 2" coils and blocks and street tires is an epic fail, and driving through enough water to flood the cab of your truck is just plain stupid

just stop posting here like you do in your other threads when people show you your wrong
