New rubber for the ride . Will be powder coating the wheels next week and slapping these big boys on ...35x12.50x17











Also dropped off my MTA bumper for paint and will be painting the skid black as well as the new sliders over the next week . Putting on new hubs and CV shaft units today .

Quite a transformation, James. Looking forward to seeing the final product.

Nice! Can't wait to see them on, suckers are big!

Also, I had the same tire in 32's and was pretty happy with them both off and on road. Only thing I didn't like is that they are directional, so can only rotate front to back each side... Other than that great tire and lasted me 50k miles or so, and still have a lil bit of tread left, but swapped them out for some 33" KM2's just recently.

Since you have an 02, you'll either need to cut the center supports of out your rad skid or cut the front swaybar mounts off the subframe of your truck. Ask me how I know. I cut the center supports, it's plenty strong without them.

Don't destroy a CV joint right out of the gate with yours new 35s like I did.

My PMs don't go back that far (yes, I've gotten more than 500 PMs since the first of the year), but I had him down for a standard rad skid, and I think I remember that he was the one with the '02 that had taken his sway bar completely out, so didn't need to cut off the ears with the 1/2" holes on the top of the radiator supports on the rad skid...

I haven't had a front swaybar in forever, and still had to cut. I know you and I talked about this via PM in December.

I should have said there was one other than you that I talked to about this... Your mounts were still there, though, right? That was why you had to cut?

Yep, swaybar gone, but frame mounts still there.

[HARDTRAILZ]

Those should be fun. I love my 35s.

Thanks again for the springs. They are a ton nicer than the z71 and gave me an inch of lift over the z71.

You're right, Fish! I was thinking when you unbolt the mounts, the frame looked just like the '04+ frame, up there... There's another piece that is welded to the frame, that holds the sway bar mounts, that's in the way...

James, you will have to cut about 1/2 of the tabs off behind the radiator... Just did that on MikePeters' TB rad skid this morning, and just finally saw up close, and in the daylight, how it all works up in there...
