Lifted my truck this afternoon

[Triathlete]

Man! Haven't you guy's seen Crocodile Dundee? Sheesh!

[Riff Raff]

I'm going to go ahead and get the stock 16" wheels powder coated and mount some nice tires on those.

BB--- Since you're lifted now and gonna' use the OEM 16x7 Stock Rims, then perhaps consider these two(2) tire sizes that will still fit on the 7" OEM wide rim when shoppin' for tires:

A. LT285/75R16 (32.8" O.D.)

B. LT295/75R16 (33.4" O.D.)

I don't know if you like sidewall lettering, but the new General - Grabber tire comes in solid "RED" outside lettering which might look bad-@ss on a Ebony VX. Just a thought. BTW, you will experience very minimal rubbing issues (if any) by using the OEM rims.

Yeah I read another thread you posted in about stock size rims and figured if I had to choose between rims and SVO parts then the stockers will work fine, just powder coated to match the truck or cladding.

Thanks for the wheel sizes there too.

Robert...... stock rims are alright old chap, theres no problem there! save the powder coat cost and get some 30mm spacers to improve the look of the stance!

And if that doesn't get your rocks off, then this will surely do the trick

(if you are looking for a good laugh, Youtube search for "ghost ride tha whip goes wrong" and Scraper Bike by the Trunk Boiz"!)

So did you mean definitions 1 & 2 or did you mean 3: "to skeet a mustard packet onto the face of an unsuspecting girl." I'm not sure I could look that up on YouTube from work.

[Bob Barker]

Yeah the skeeting of mustard is a new one for me to learn about too!

A donk is what that picture is. An old car lifted to put large rims and tires on.

Well I went ahead and lifted the front a little more. About 5/8th" higher on both sides where the gap is 7" between fender and wheel top.

I think it looks a little more even the way it sits now and tried to recreate the angles in the photos I took last Monday when I did it first, so what do you guys think?

First lift last Monday

After raising a little more this morning

[vt_maverick]

Looks better I guess... why didn't you put on bigger tires before you did this? All that empty space makes it hard to tell if it's even.

[RamAirZ]

Looks good man! Ya when you get some bigger tires it'll look even better

[JHarris1385]

Looks too high.

[Marlin]

Looks too high.

He just needs tires to fill those gaps.

[Triathlete]

A Donk!

[Bob Barker]

wrd. I need bigger tires for sure but funds won't allow it right now so I'm just pretending to be an off road truck!
