Sweet truck! I have one just like it but mine's an '06 in silver. I did the exact same things to mine: 5100's and 255/80/17's on stock rims. I set my 5100's on the top setting but the ride is pretty harsh and I think it sits too tall. Are you getting any rubbing at stock height? I'm...
I wouldn't continue any further with this fabricator. The fit-up alone is terrible and the welds are some of the worst I've seen. 3/8" gaps are unacceptable, 1/8" doesn't pass in our shop. The one tube looks like he chewed it off and it looks bent. Butt-joining parts that were cut too short...
Nice build! I have a similar setup on my '06 DC with Bilstein 5100's up front, 255/75/17's, and a bed topper. I was scrolling through your thread and saw your picture of the big water/sand hole on Bald Mtn and I recognized it immediately. That's a fun little trail to run but it can get tricky...
I'm thinking of going with the same tire on my DC. I have the same 5100 setup, on the 4th notch. Did you find it necessary to have the wheel spacers? I'm just curious how much rub there would be without them.
thanks,
