Very nice. Everything ties nicely together. Hard to believe those are 35's stuffed in there with no lift. I have 5 inches of lift with my 315's and I still rub sometimes when I am backing up while turning. Did you do alot of trimming under there?

I trimmed about 1" from the bottom of the fender flare and lower valance in the front at an angle. I run a tire shop so I'm experienced with a cutoff wheel, even with chrome bumpers lol

The running boards used to be silver, but the were in bad shape. I took them apart, cut out all the rust, filled in the bad places and sprayed them with truck bed liner. They have held up very well so far.

That looks REALLY good. You say it doesn't rub? It would where I drive, LOL. Is your gearing stock? If it is, it is really jacked up and you shouldn't tow anything too heavy with it like that. Just FYI

That size will "fit" but it won't be anywhere near right, because the stock wheels are way too narrow.

Gearing is stock and it drives/pulls just fine. Speedo is 4 mph off, but it can be corrected with a tuner.

this is full of mud with 285/70r17 bfg km1s, great tires.
l_d01f981c8f6b4cd5b8b6e0112d778ef5.png
this is with no mud weight and 285 km2s stock rim no rub no lift.

285/70r17s on stock rims are the perfect setup for un lifted 4x4 expos
