Bad Ace

 

Hey Eddy, I have felt how sharp the wheels can be. Luckily, I havn't cut myself yet. If you find a place to get dirty in Norhern VA give me a shout! I work in DC and would to go out riding.

 

same goes for you Sherm, oh and you should get in on that thread on signatures in the general discussion under brewdude started by dzervit, you could use a sig to show off that ride.

 

What is the total diameter of those tires compared to the factory ones? I imagine you have a 3.73 rear right now? If you wanted to maintain the same effective ratio, would you step up to a 4.30 or so??

 

The total diameter according to BFG website is 34.4, the stock tire size will vary but the largest size you can get stock is just under 33s (I think).
Yes you can up the gear ratios to keep it the same, but from my experience with the lift, it is not needed. If you were thinking about doing your gears, I would say try it out first, then think about regearing.

 

Very nice, Eddy! I was looking at your gallery pictures comparing the before and after. Wow. Nice mod!

 

Shrem..are you a DC police officer? Hmmm how about one of those get out of jail free stickers for my truck. lol
Like one that says, "I know BigSherm so leave my tinted windows alone!" Or "DC police supporter...please dont give me a ticket" Problem with working for the govt is it gets you out of trouble everywhere but DC...here everyone works for the friggen govt.

 

Eddy, I'm capitol police, not Metropolitan, but I figuere something out.

 

Eddy! First of all, bad *** truck. Good choice of add ons.
Now, if you could do me a huge favor and give me the phone number of the dealership where you got those tires? Ive already called some of the dealerships in AZ, but they say that they dont have any. AND, since Ill be in the DC area for training for another month, I would waste no time in picking up a pair of pretty much brand new tires for 400 bucks. If you want, email me @ valdezford@hotmail.com Thanks in advance, RV

 

First off...Awesome Truck man! Best I've seen. Where did you buy your lift from if you dont mind me asking. I definetly want to get this started for my Black FX4

 

I purchased the lift from 4wheelparts.com. I waited till they had a decent deal too. At this time the deals will probably start rolling in when the weather starts to get bad. The deal I got was 15% off and free truck freight. To maximize savings on this, I bought different peices to the puzzle over time. In April I bought the lift, June I bought the wheels, July the tires and then in August and Sept I saved up for the labor to get it all put it. A very very nerve racking process (especially looking at all these parts not in my truck) but in the end I saved a lot of money and debt. For anyone on a budget like I was, I would say buy parts over time from now till winter and you should be able to get the thing put in even cheaper than I did. At least around here, shops prices go way down once the snow hits the ground.
