Post Another RCD lift...

Sorry the picture couldn't be better, but this is what my Supercrew looks like after it underwent an RCD lift.

It's a Smittybilt Outland Sport and is mounted by brackets that attach to the bottom frame.

Are these the tires and rims offered in your classified add, and did they fit the 4x4 off road before you lifted the truck??? I would also like to see a pic of the setup prior to lifting. They look so good on the truck as is, I am confused as to why you would want something different.
Thanks

This is what my truck looked like before the lift. The 305's fit well, and I agree that it looks alright now but I think it would look even better w/ 35's.

Looks really nice. I like it with 305's. I'm about to go to that size. So many people have 35's, but that's not for me, I want 305's. I drive my truck too much these days.

Hey mudder, aren't 305's the exact same height as 285's just a little bit wider? You are right about everyone havin 35's on their trucks, but your truck would look bad *** with 315's on there. Also, any more KC's to add, or are you done with those?

Cool

Yeah, same height but wider. I put some 285's and some 305's side by side at 4 Wheel Parts and there is a big difference. It's amazing how different tires look when the tread is worn down, cause mine are pretty much near the end, sorta. Trust me, with the new Atlas rims and 305's on my truck, it's gonna look different, and better.

I put bigED's 35's on my truck the other day when we took off his tires to do his brakes. I sat there for a sec lookin at my truck and told him that I wanted to see what his tires looked like in my truck, so we did it. The tires looked nice, but rubbed a good bit on the front valence. Also came to within a 1/2 from rubbing on the inner fender, and they rubbed under normal conditions. It also raised the truck over an inch, which was awesome. But I don't wanna deal with tires that big now, don't wanna buy new gears, and mess with the speedo...and bla bla. Got plenty of time to do that later. Right now I'm lookin at Ranch Hand, front and rear. Would love a front end replacement on my truck, with the hidden winch kit. Now that would look better than the set-up that I have now. Yes, I am pretty much done with the KC's for now, but I still have two 100 watt 5x7s, that will go on, just gotta find the time to make some brackets, and wire them on up.

So, that's the deal. First with the new rims and tires, then on to Ranch Hand. Gonna be awesome if I can get that deal worked out.

Have you bought the 16x8 Atlases yet? If not, why not go with the 17x8's? Because as you probably know, Pro Comp makes the 305 for a 17" as well. They also make a 35" for the 17" just in case you come down with the "I want bigger" bug in the future. Just my 2 cents.

Mudder that would be sweet with Ranch hand's on it. Sdiesel, 17 in tires cost too much, that's probably why, and they make tires look smaller.

Can't wait to see it mudder! I saw the Pro Comp's yesterday on a friend of mine's Z71 and they looked REAL good. I have the dueler at's myself, but when they run out, i think i might be heading to Pro Comp.
