Well, Here's my 6" Pro Comp & 13x38 Swampers...

Well, I know I know...the pictures suck, but gimme some credit for taking them with a 'brella in the rain. I dont have any measure ments of yet or anything because its been aining most of the day. The ONLY and i will repeat ONLY places these tires rub now is one a FULL lock turn, the grips "lightly" hit the torsion bars. Not no bam bam bam its gonna fall off it i keep going hit...just a slight hit. It was scraping the front part of the rear fender going over hills and whatnot, so I trimmed it up and no more problem. Go ahead...most of yall are gonna say this isn't gonna work, or blah blah blah...I dont care Im rollin 38's with a 6" lift

For all yall haters :

maybe you should grind the t-bars a little. It's the "superhack" way.

Anyone from the old school remember when we heard about PTown who ran 38's with a Rancho and a body lift. We were all shocked and pretty much all of us said it can't be done. I remember looking at the pix and thinking how extreme he was and now you are running the same 38 on just a suspension lift. This is cool!!!! Looks like you have room for more.

Actually, yes I could fit a bigger tire up front I beleive. Is just the back that would hold me up. My rear spring are sorta sagging because i use to haul 2000lbs+ at a time of ice to places and really stressed them out bad. That and the 250lb+ tube bumper dont help the springs...but sure does in pulling

Mud those piocs rock. I love the small lift big tires. Def have room for more tire, but maybe you could probably go with some 16x8. So how do the truck drive and going around turns?

It does great so far...thanks About the 16x8....ehh its sorta iffy. I can see trimming up front, and definalty more in the rear. The way it is now, is perfect for turning and stuff...Being another 1" wider I can see trimming on the valance thing, and some of the metal probably on the lower inner rear of the front fender.

Imagine what a little more encouragement could do around these parts

BTW...I'll confirm what Mud says. I saw the truck this afternoon. I guess one nutcase attesting for another doesn't do much, but I will, for whatever it's worth.;)

For some reason, i cant see the pics, but someone said he should go with 16x8's so i guess the tires are on 7????

Not my style really, with such a large tire but if your happy thats all that matters.

For the record, i did like Ptowns truck when he had big tires on it, but werent they 8's?

Not to mention he trimmed alot.

I wouldnt take it off road, but thats a different story :)

Whats lifting the rear? Springs? Blocks? The first place your going to rub is the front of the rear fender openings. It looks good just bring up the back a little.

The fact that he is running "pizza cutters" is the reason he can run 38's


Looks good IMO

I know. But it looks like the wind will blow it over. To each his own.

All you need is the 5.5" SL block and walla...1-1/2" taller for $68

Looks good, Im going with 38" STS next year

I think a 16x8 with 4" backspacing would solve your t-bar inteference, and trimming the lower fender or valence is nothing, I would do that anyway. Get you some black rockcrawlers

Mud, thats like more extreme with my truck. Those are the stock rims right? Do you tires stick out at all? Well mine barely stick out of the fenders, TSL radials are a skinny A$$ tire unless you have the proper width in the rim. But gotta give it to ya, your truck sure does look friggn' good. I have rubbed the rear fender MORE then the front when i flexed at the beach. I have those pics developed, Ill hopefully give them to rkik to post them.
