Transformation Expedition Enjoy!
just me or does it look like you need an alignment pretty bad up front.
otherwise looks good man. plans to powdercoat the bumpers? if you plan on going to 37-38 do the 4.88 instead of paying twice for gears

Going all the way lol. RL carriers called me today and said my tires will be here tomorrow between 1-5. Jake your correct, the alignment is way out of wack, when I get off work tomorrow, hopefully my tires will be there so I can take them in, get them mounted and balanced, and then get the alignment done. As for the bumpers, I want to get them powdercoated but I wanna get the truck finished first, its been sitting to long. I was quoted 75 for sandblasting on the bumpers, so maybe in the future I can get it done.
35's and 4.88 wouldnt be bad at all around town and would give you better gas mileage in the city as long as you can stay out of the gas.
Lower gearing equals easier acceleration which equalls less fuel consumed. Now if your heavy into the gas at every stop light then your really not gonna notice much of a difference.
The only thing you will notice a difference with 4.88's is on the interstate you will be running at slightly higher RPMS (a few hundered) which would equal more fuel burnt.
But for what you saw you use the truck for, id go straight for 4.88's and never look back.

Ok so tires came in late today, called tire kingdom and they said I could come and get them mounted balanced and alignment but got there and they turned me down and said they were to backed up.. Going bright and early tomorrow to get it done. Tires are awesome though. Got the expo loaded down with rims and tires barely fits haha, but heres a few shots.
Compared to 41s

Raising the bar (41, 35, 31 spare)

Stuffed in the back haha

Ok, so I got the tires mounted and the alignment done today but they rub pretty bad because the spacers make them stick out. So I took the tires back off and I'm gonna have to do some cosmetic work on the fenders. More rub than I expected. Dang spacers! Anyways, before they took the tires off I snapped a few shots, a couple have them without the molding on the fender because we wanted to see how much it helped on clearance. No center caps either. Once I get it buttoned up and trimmed I'll take some nice pics, this is just at tire kingdom. I think it looks sick though!










but looks really really good.
