so basically if you all wanna see how 3" spindles/blocks look with stock wheels and stock 255/70 r16 tires, there it goes! :D

dont worry, the truck is spotless now, those pics are from after a short offroad excursion

this summer im hoping to pop a 3" BL on it with some meatier tires

Looks really Good! Just curious, since you haven't switched out tires yet and only did the lift, did you see any change in MPG with only the lift? Also, what size blocks are you using?

my MPG stayed the same, if it did change it all it really wasnt noticeable, i still get about 450 or so highway miles out of a full 35 gallon fill (about 13 mpg) :D

i used 3" blocks on the rear, wanted to keep the stock rake

A 2wd with a limited slip or locking differential will suprise you when there's traction. I wouldn't do much exploring at all without at least a limited slip differential.

My Dad's 2wd F250 has seen more offroad than 90% of the 4wd's out there.

If any of you guys need some tires, I have some meaty 33's mounted on 15 inch eagle alloys that I'll trade for a really nice set of less aggressive tires on 17 or 16 inch rims
