dsg screw + +35's + 20x10's + rancho = ???

well here are some pics of my truck, what a trouble filled road. it all started when i bought one of the skyjacker lifts from autoanything.com, well after all and said was done i ended up getting a rancho lift for a tad over 900 bucks. needless to say thanks to fed ex who damaged 2 shipments and lost some of my parts, i have to give rancho a they overnighted me a subframe and the missing parts (i dont even wanna know how much that cost) awesome customer service. then i ended up getting a killer deal for some 35x12.50-20's pro comps off ebay, used for like a week, 660 bucks for the set. now the rims, another disaster, i bought them new and they ended being half good, 1 of the rims was outta round and the other was drilled crooked, so needless to say i would buy moto metal wheels ever again, but oh well. at least they look pretty bad ***. if anyone is looking for a set of 20's with tires and sensors let me know. the oddest thing is, i took my tires off and didnt have them put my sensors in the new rims and the light aint on i was dreading them damn thing, i wonder why it didnt come on? anyway, let me know what you think, bushwackers are going on next week and maybe a roush grille.

Nice lookin truck.. not to sound like an ***, but the 4" lift don't look much higher than a normal truck w a leveling kit. How you get the lift for $900? Thats a heck of a deal

the gal, Monica, at auto anything gave me any lift i wanted at cost and threw in some more off for my aggravation. 07fx4silver has a 6" procomp and 35's, hes at 45 inches at the wheel arches for a comparison, so im about 1/2 shorter than a 6 incher

are you sure it's a 2007 and not a 2006? I had a local dealer try to sell me a 05 model in October 2006 as a 2006 model. There aren't any visual differences between 06/07 that are significant besides PTM Mirrors

Looks really good. I like that color. Glad to hear that some companies still believe in customer service.



Sometimes it takes a day or two for the TPMS light to come on.

Looks great. Adding the Bushwacker flares will improve the overall look of the truck.
