Thanks man! that's a sweet rig!!

I'm running 37x12.5 MTZ's on 17" Walker Evans bead locks. 38" are a tough tire size to get here but they will fit no problem. I have an automatic so I did replace the front drive shaft for clearance. I also installed adjustable upper front control arms so I could dial in most caster. That smoothed out the steering at highway speeds.

If your going to run 37+ and your going to wheel it, be prepared to stiffen your front axle and know that its going to be harder on parts. EVO has a great kit with tubes and gussets but before you know it you WILL be starting to upgrade axel shafts, ball joints, ect...

I've been building this rig for the last 3 months and I'm already looking at hydro steer and a RIPP supercharger. I also had 5.38 gears installed. After 35" tires it starts to cost.
