X2!
Those trucks look good and i like the BMF wheels a lot too.

I agree, BMFs bring some serious coin though.

Your truck but..



Cali style is gay. Big lift, tiny tires, and 12'' wide wheels is a Fail. Retarded mall crawler. But that's just me.

I also feel bad for the guy mounting a 295 on 12'' wide wheel. I wouldn't go around a turn to fast, pop that sucker right off the bead.

In your opinion... I didn't like the style at first either but it's grown a lot on me and I like it now. If I wanted a vehicle that was purpose built for offroad, I'd buy another four-wheeler or a beater. Lol at people calling brand new trucks mall crawlers... ah yeah, it is, go ahead and beat the piss out of a truck you pay 600 dollars/month for, I won't be mine.

The truck HAS been and will be "offroad" plenty of times, by the way.

Just in the last page of my Photobucket:





Plenty of people have mounted 295/55 and 305/55 Trail Grapplers on x12s without a problem and no one has complained about popping beads. Buuuut, I think I changed my mind and am going to get 20x10 Predators, just so you can sleep at night.

Its all in your style and your money so my opinion doesnt matter but it doesn't look right to me. When I see it I think "spent all the money on the lift but ran out of cash for the right tires" the nice thing is if you do get tired of them you can always sell for a bigger size or upgrade when they wear down.

If I get tired of them, I'll jump to 35s, not a big deal to me.

7" of lift on 35s FTW, My last Dmax...

Nice D-max.

my next toy will be lifted! good luck on yours cant wait to see it

Thanks dude, hopefully I can get started here pretty soon.

Wtf

[bartjo06]

What?

[bodis22]

What?

Oh lol, there was a massive spam post yesterday about "niche" websites and all kinds of BS like half page long...What are you doing in here anyways, go get that lift on and be sure to save some money for fuel. I loved mine but damn will a lift and tires kill some mileage, even in a dmax.

[bartjo06]

Just checked tracking and it will be here Monday

Still need to get rear shocks and wheels though.

[bartjo06]

Look what showed up last night.

i think you will be very happy with the FTS lift. did you get the uni-ball uppers too? you should get it powder coated lime green or something. do it like Dizzles truck and do bright orange.

[bartjo06]

I didn't get uppers. I may eventually get uppers and dual hoops, but I don't know about running chrome resi's in the winter up here. Same thing with powder and chrome, I'm just going to leave it black since it would look like doo doo from the salty winters.

[1slo4.8]

10-4 agreed on that. yeah don't bother with the resis. the chrome will rust up pretty bad i bet
