I haven't updated this thread in a while, so here's what I've been up to!

I decided on 35" Trail Grapplers and 20x10 -24 Fuel Mavericks. I just rolled them in front of my old wheels to get a feel for how they look.







Funny thing about the T Grapps is that they're only 34.5" x 12.5" inches, even without any load/weight on them. Specs list them at 35"x13" in actual size. Doesn't matter at all, just found it interesting because they're supposed to run large, so other tires must really run small!


The lift, due to going out of town/on "vacation" for a VERY long time, will be going on on August 19th. Still can't wait though, so I'm hoping the 5 weeks fly by!

Thanks man! Mine are completely black, but other than that, they're the same! Cause yours have a grey "X", right?

Ya my X is gray. It was hard to tell in the picture but digging thru your thread I found that they were all black. Just hard to see in the phone.

That's going to look sweet! That wheel and tire combo will match the truck perfectly. Great choices.

It's cool, they're definitely really close!

Thanks! I saw another white 04-08 with them on Instagram and they looked great.

Dang man, those are going to look awesome! I mean, they're no raptor wheels, but they'll do

Good looking setup, I don't think you could've done any better I'm anxious to see the finished product.

Boom! 6" Fabtech, 2" AS level, 5 " Fabtech blocks, 20x10 Fuel Mavericks, 35x12.5" Trail Grapplers.

I'm super happy with how it came out. 8" up front with 5" blocks and the rear is still 2.5" lower somehow, but other than that I freakin love it! The tires still out exactly as much as I wanted them, it's taller than I was expecting, it drives great, tracks straight, UCA angles are fine, LOVE it.

Nice!! If I went up with my truck instead of down, this is how I'd want it to look. Very clean overall.

Thanks man. Same goes for me and your truck if I had gone down. Yours is super clean and black is my favorite color.

Thanks, Brad! She's a little better with the tires out. Definitely still need that AAL eventually though. I can tell this is gonna bother me as much as it did when I had squat from the leveling kit

Well thanks! On another note, I just ran across your ad on craigslist for your old wheel/tire combo, haha.

Haha yeah, I gotta sell those in like a week . . . Pretty good deal though IMO, especially cause I'll take $700. And that ad is waaaay too long.
