D30 front with No gears LOL
Rough Country 3.25 lift with control arm drops and n2.0 shocks
315/70/17 BF Goodrich AT

Looking foward to building this beast but still on a tight budget.
Here are some pics of how it is now.

Just bought a set of 37's!
There Interco 37/13.50/18 with decent tread. Picked them up for $100 from a friend. Now I've got to get a set of wheels for these. I plan on using these as my trail tires and keeping the 35's on for DD
