New 26's on

Just installed some 26'' Lexani LSS-55's with 305/30/26's. I think they fit the truck well. Pics are in my gallery I will post them when I have some more time to figure out how.

Thank you bankrpt. The truck is lowered 1.25"front 3" rear. Belltech struts up front Belltech shocks in the rear. Belltech rear sway bar,Drilled and slotted rotors .Whipple Supercharger with 10# upgrade , Roughly 450 rwhp. OBX long tube headers and a AFE Machforce muffler.Oh and a custom dyno tune by Bob Kurgan .All custom stereo with 2 10" RE audio subs ported firing forward under the rear seat.Those are just a few of many upgrades.

Looks great! I'd remove those nerf bars though. They just don't go with the lowered street truck look.

I'll try to get some pics. Fits under rear seat and utilizes all and I mean all the available room. It was a nightmare to build. Has 2 Re se10's. Tuned to 32hz. Slot port fires between the subs center box . Rite between the front seats. It does stick out past front of the seat apx 3/4". No biggie. Sounds outstanding I am using a Audioque AQ1200 to power the subs.

fixed it for you! Plus it looks like you can actually drop it more. Does it rub?

Thanks and I can't drop it anymore. It doesn't rub now however that is due to the fact the plastic fender liner has been heated and stretched just a bit. Bottom line I may be able to go a fuzz lower in the rear but NO more in the front. If it was any lower in front it would rub like a bitch, been there done that. I want it to look good but it still must be completely drive able. I found this to be the perfect combination so far.

Nice truck overall but not a fan of the rims/tires. Too much wheel and not enough sidewall for me.

I agree about removing the stepbar though.....teach the wife and kiddos to jump!

I like the low profile tires for performance. Ultra High Performance less sidewall flex in turns etc.. But to each his own. I would remove the step bars but my 3 y.o. And my 5 y.o. Use them maybe in u
