tarajerame,
Again, watch the video. Look into the front mount, heim joints are not needed, nor does the truck lose any of its "flex"

Also I have flexed the truck, I am happy to say I didn't lose nor gain anything so keep your luck as I don't need it

Bluebeast06fx4,
That's not raggin, its actually a helpful thing to point out to people who want there tries to last! Everything is within spec, as I had Discout Tire check it all today which is funny. Test fit a 40X15.50 today and they wont fit with the current wheels as they offset isnt anywhere near proper. Tire was rubbing on the control arm, and horrible bad on the swaybar/rize frame bracket. On another note, it looks as if they will fit fine with the proper offset =)

A wide 38 im thinking might be the safer/better route tho and look just fine with the correct offset/wheel combo.

40x15.50?!?! that is one monster tire and would look beastly if it could work!

A 38 will also definently look good because it will feel the wheel well just a little bit more and not make it look overstuffed. Also if its about 14 inches wide it will give it an aggresive look IMO

It's just that a 37x13.50 to a 38x14.50 really isnt much diff at all. The 40" when sitting on the group mounted was 1.2" higher than my 37's and I forgot to measure the diff on the width once it was obvious it wouldnt work on my current wheels.

Truck looks good man and I'm sure costing you lots of $$$$$. Only thing I'm confused on is the black and chrome clashing. IMO since you have the Platinum with all the chrome the chrome bumpers, oainted fender flares and some chrome 22x12 Rockstars would look so much better. Or some 22x14 Fuel wheels with 40s.
