    In order to run the 285s, I need to do some work. I purchased a 2" Boss Lift with Eibach Springs, rear struts and 1" blocks in the rear. This leveled the truck as well as gave it the mandatory clearance to run the new wheel + tire setup. In addition to the lift kit, I also had my local custom...

    Decided it was time to finally change the stance of the truck. So I started with the wheels and tires to determine what lift kit would be neccessary. I went with the following setup: BFGoodrich KM3 @ 285/70/17 Method NV 17x8.5" Wheels

    Adding on some BFG KO2s definitely helped the stance of the truck a bit, but it still looked to narrow and tall overall. This inspired the upgrade to some hub centric wheel spacers to poke the tires out a bit for a little more aggressive stance. I should say, I plan on getting new suspension...
