So would those 325 series tires be listed and considered a 35" or a 36"?

325mm / 25.4mm per inch = 12.80" wide

12.80" x .65 = 8.31" = aspect, x2 = 16.63"

16.63" of tire + 20" of rim = 36.63" tall.

So it is a 36.6 tall x 12.8" wide tire. Closer to a 37.

Nope dude, those are LED tails I bought from eBay along with the head lights

doing the math right! I got those tires just for the time being... knowing they are slightly small... (hell I was even carrying my scale meter at the tire shop )

Im getting a real 38's this summer and some real 37's dunes tires by December this year

yeah and as for gearing, im getting 4.88's along with drive shaft spacer (Fabtech from 4 wheels parts) as soon as possible! I can feel the poor tranny! (hopefully by mid of this month)

Thanks everyone!!

*Need a new sig *

Yep!

Custom made out of thick (dunno size) sheet metal

They are illegal here (well for RTA only, no problems in driving with them )

Your tail lights appear to have a pimple on them.

Lift looks good! Maybe go with wider tires when you step up to the 38"s though.

That's a major change from stock. I'm really liking those custom bumpers. Any close ups of the bumpers?

i think the all black front looks mean, especialy that front bumper! i like seeing long beds lifted like this. reminds me of the 70s and 80s style pickups

awesome, im gonna have to look for a 325 series tire for myself when i lift my rig. ive always loved a 6 to 8 inch lift with a solid 36" or slightly larger tire. thats the range im looking to go right in there.
