When it comes to truck/ vehicle modification, this is not my first rodeo but as far as this build it's been a huge pain in my ***. So I figured I would make this post to show the different steps and see if anyone wants to share their builds!



This was the truck after I threw on a Rough Country 2" leveling kit, Ranch Hand front bumper and 35x12.5r20 Fuel MT tires.

I drove the truck for 2 years like this until I got the itch to add more to it lol.




Rough Country 6" suspension lift and Bilstein 1500 shocks




After the Rough Country 6" and the adjustable bilsteins I was content with it for about 2 weeks and then decided I needed bigger tires. Nitto Mud Grapplers have been a favorite of mine since my first build so I decided to go with a set of 37x13.5r22 with a set of 22x14 -70 Fuel Nutz....Huge lol



We ran into a problem.... The Bilsteins jacked up to the 2.75 left no room for flex....AT ALL....so I had to upgrade to a set of Fox shocks....burned a good hole in my pocket of corse lol. It ended up working but I've still gotta get the plastic fender trimmed so this is what it looks like so far...













Thinking about leaving the bumper off or getting a pre-runner style bumper cause I like the look of the clearance. Let me know what y'all think!!!!!!!

 

Great looking truck!

 

Looking good

 

That's hot man! What year is your truck? When you said Bilstein 1500, was it the 0-2" 1500 with spacers or the longer 4-6"? What are your diff gears at and how does it drive?




I need my truck to look like that lol

 

Thanks man! Unfortunately haven't been able to drive it yet.... still in the shop fixing some minor scrubbing issues.

The Bilsteins were the adjustable up to 2.75 but when we went up that high, i ran out of clearance and the upper control arm was hitting my strut so we had to go with the fox struts.

Ill either run 4.10 gears or get a different rear axle and run 4.88
