Hey man, looking at your truck in your gallery, what size/type tires are those and are those 18" Monsters?

 

2.5 in Hell bent. Going to order my tires 295/70-18s this week (34 1/2x11 3/4 that will fit a 7.5 inch wheel). truck sits dead level

 

Goin with Terras or Trails?

 

I'm running the nitto trail grappler m/t's in 35/12.5/20 on the monsters. got the tires a week after they released, even before truckin put them in their magazine!

 

Leaning towards the trails. Went wheel shopping today before I pull the trigger just in case. Start looking and the owner of the shop takes me out to his 2010 black platinum screw on 20s wrapped in some hankook 35sI dont know what to do now.

 

When I get some extra cash I plan on doing a 2.5" leveling kit. I run 33x12.50x17 ProComp MT and occasionally rub on the stock flares when backing into a parking space with the tires turned but otherwise no problems. I really just want the 2.5" front lift so the truck has the right attitude for the meaty tires. I've had this for 3 years now and for what it's worth these tires are incredible. Tires are 5 years old, ran them for 2 years on an '02 Ram ( then I got smart and bought a real truck) I have only run them in the summer and they have seen over 20k miles easily and still have about 75% tread left. They're also great in sticky mud!
Picture isn't the most up to date, no more tonneau cover or steps, but I have a low profile toolbox in the bed. Also need to replace the front bumper as painted bumpers don't hold up well to NY winters and road salt, will most likely put a chrome bumper on just for durability.

 

2.5" auto spring 3" rear block 275/65/20 toyo a/t

 

i like the way your truck looks sadixon, i really want to get a block for the back of mine to get some rake back for when i tow things. Did you install that and the level yourself??

 

Heres a pic of mine with the 2.5" leveling kit installed- mine is the red one and my dads is the grey one without a leveling kit.....good pic for comparison.

 

Hey Jacked up, does your 05 tick at all while running? if so you think you could send me an audio clip or something of the sort?
Thanks!!

 

The infamous 5.4 tick? Mine does it, hasn't gotten any worse in 3 years

 

Ya I would if it did but sadly I only got a 4.6....ya I no wish I had a 5.4. My dads got the 06 5.4 and its got a ticking noise on it to but you can only tell when your are just sitting there idling. I don't got the stuff to do it but otherwise I would.

 

Did the rear block myself but the front was done by a local shop. The first time I towed i knew I needed the rear block.

 

Jacked up how do you like your recon lights

 

great work sadixon. I don't tow a lot of things other than the four wheeler and mower sometimes, but i really think the extra 1.5" inches of height in the back will give my truck a meaner stance.
