I'm trying to figure a way to keep the front mudflaps on theyll give it a OEM look and keep rocks from hitting the stepbars and killing the chhrome, if I cant do the I'll get some flairs and clean it up
BTW Thanks

Rims
I'm new to the forum so forgive me I'm repeating previous questions. I noticed the aftermarket rims. The 4-wheel shops around me claim that any lift requires new rims for some reason. I can't come to any conclusion except they just want that extra money. My 05 FX4 has 18"s that should do fine with a 35" on it. Shouldn't this be fine?

See i did just the BL with 35's and i actually wish i would have went with 33's or 305's instead.It is fine in a straight line but if you have the wheel turned and hit hard it rubs some.It's to late for tire size change now and the t-bars are cranked as far as i care to go

SKRWZ - The truck looks great. I wouldn't change anything.
Kevin24 - Had the same issue on my 00 Scab. One last thing you may want to try is drilling through the plastic in the wheel well of the tire that is rubbing, grab some black zip ties and try to zip tie the wheel well back as far as you can. You should be able to zip tie it to the frame or another safe spot. I did this to my 2000 and it solved the rubbing issue. It didn't need to be done to my 03. Just a suggestion.

Ya that is a good idea. I would def have to do something if i offroaded alot. I have just been trying to avoid the combo that causes it to rub. It scared the chit out of me the first time i hit a hole with the wheel turned

Looks pretty proportionate to me. When those rediculously good looking PJ's wear down I would shoot for the 36 or 37's. Oh wait you have 17's I think, so nevermind about the 36 inchers. The downfall of the 17" wheel very limited tire sizes. Hate that.

Big_jts -- The PJ's I have 35/12.50/17 are a true 35 they actually measure 35.3 alot of guys that have seen my truck think they are 36's when they first see my truck.
