You guys are funny. Try to put two pictures together in something simple like your 'Paint' program. Then load that onto the web, and into your sig. I couldn't get several pictures to ever work either. Whenever I feel like a computer geek, I just go talk to some of the real computer guys here, that makes me feel less like a dork.

hey, just curious if you've had any problems with the 315's rubbing with the 16x8 rims? im hopefully gonna be getting a set in the next couple of months, but am wondering if im gonna need to get a pair of coil spacers. i have the spindles and body lift, so im assuming yours is about half an inch higher than mine. will greatly appreciate any help.

Jason... the only problem I had was with the lower valance and that was an easy fix. I had already trimmed it a little bit when I put the 285's on, but the 315's really rubbed when I backed up and turned the wheel! So I just marked off some lines I wanted to trim to on either side, got out the handy-dandy trauma scissors and cut it away. A little light sanding on the edges and all is fine now! I would think they'll fit well with the lift you have also.
As an FYI... I installed a steering stabilizer yesterday afternoon and I really like the results! I would say it's a worthwhile addition for anyone running 35" tires... much better steering feel and I'm sure it has to help the suspension components. Something to think about considering it only costs about $59 and 30 minutes under the truck!

The stabilizer kit comes with a bracket that mounts over the right-side frame rail and extends a couple inches below the bottom. The "cylinder" end of the shock / stabilizer mouns through a hole in that bracket utilizing some rubber bushings and lock nuts. There is also another bracket which mounts to the tie rod using small u-bolts and lock nuts. The "piston" end of the shock mounts through a hole in that bracket using the same hardware as the other end. It's really a simple process... The kit also came with a boot (choice of color!).
I would say it would be worth it with 33's... can't see how it could hurt! A lot would depend on how and where you drive your truck, I guess.

"I just can't get over how cheap and flimsy those lifts look."
Well guys, the lift is sitting in the garage at home, and from previous experience with a Superlift, this kit appears to be just as tough as the superlift. These guys in Cali are putting out right good looking kits. I know people were talking about a driveshaft modification. Well specifically, you need a new front one (longer). Whiplash will even sell you one of them. Anyway, the lift is going in starting Friday and I hope to finish by Saturday night. I plan to digitize the entire even and eventually post them on a web site. My truck is going to look funny for a week though with the measley 36"s. Oh well, Im getting my 40X17X15 Ground Hawgs the next friday. Pics soon to come.
