nothing to crazy, trying to keep the price down as much as possible. I really want to tear the carpet out ad bedline it but I haven't heard enough to pull the trigger yet. also im wanting to bedline the rims, heard and read some good about that. other then that, just a 4 inch lift, 33's exhaust, intake, lighting. etc

So have I. I have checkin out all these rims. That's next. What size are you looking at? So far I've got a 4" skyjacker. Smitty bumpers (did that a few weeks ago). Lights. Just put the cb bracket on today and ran all the wires.

There is a lot of us from so-cal we even have a section on the regional part of the forum. If your planning on a 4" lift you should get 35's not 33's

They will fill the wheel well's out more and give you more height.
Welcome to the addiction.

I have 315/70 on factory rims. Debating on staying with the 17's so I don't have to do the tires again till they're roached. Where locally are you shopping?

I've been trying to decide between 33 or 35. Anyone know anything about the rocky mountian ats from discount tires? Recomend them? But after I lift and put tires on I'm just going to fab some simple tube bumpers. Got a buddy who's got. A shop in his garage. Does anybody know about tearing the carpet out and lining the inside? Going to line the rims this weekend maybe

I did the bed liner years ago. Carpet comes right out. I removed all the seats and center console when I did it. Just need a sander, acetone and the liner. Do a few coats and bam.

My goal when done is 35. Right now I'm stuck on rim size. What are you going to run. The other thing I've ran into is after I put the lift and these tires on I've been having issues with my traction control. Know anything about that?
