i think your truck will look better if you put about a 2" body lift on it

i like it. if you get the time/money, check into changing gear ratios. i had a stock chevy blazer with 3.73 gears. stock tires too. i went to military axles, 44" moster mudders, and a 5.87 gear ratio. it made a world of difference. i could only run about 60 mph but it would get there in a hurry! :shocked!: n e way, if you havent changed the gears, but put larger tires/rims on, i would check on a 3.73 or 4.11 gear.

it's kinda funny how i got the rims.first i got them off a friend.i threw them in the bed for the night so i could lift my truck the next day so i could use them.i was getting ready to go to work and something didn't feel right.sure is shit,i walked around the corner and my bed was empty.i was pretty hot all day.but to make it worse my girl called me and told me the apartment maint. man had a set of rims flipped upside down in the bed of his. :2gunfire: i thought at first he was the guy cause he had to work real late on the apartment next door and he parked next to my truck.i was already getting all my special tools ready to do some damage to his baby. he has a newer s-10 with a set of daytons and a two week old paint job.the first thing i planned to do was pour jet fuel all over his nice pretty paint job.to go on,i was still at work, still pissed.i went over to get a fuel load from delta ops.the guy that works ops likes mini trucks so i started to bitch to him, got done with the fueling and started to leave.the guy came running out of ops to catch me.he asked where i lived at.i told him.he was like, you have a black truck don't you.i said yeah.then he said my rims are in his back seat in his car 8O 8O 8O with out saying anything he stared to apologize to me and said he'd put them back.i believed him, he's a good guy.so i went to go home and he swung them by my work and put them back :D TALK ABOUT A SMALL WORLD!! 8) we're still cool.atleast he had the balls to say something.that maint. man just got very very lucky i found them.still hate the f*cker though..

WOW, that is too cool.
even cooler that you didnt deck the guy after he gave the rims back, i would have :evil: i hate theives. i mean pocketing some small parts in the junkyard were they are gonna get crushed anyway is one thing.
stealing 4 rims out the back of a guys truck?? yeah that deserves a beatin.

If you ever relocate or move, let us know so we can come up with something real good to pay him back. that would be a good topic. You should post that question just for fun- " how to get this guy back...."

:twisted:
