The_Kat Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Besides the hilarious humor of this truck being owned by a brotha.....your telling me this doesn't look AWESOME??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Cant see the video at work. I will check it out tonight when I get to the casa. From what I gather from your comments about your truck and 35s on 20s and then the comment about this truck being ownded by a brotha, I stand behind my ghetto nasty commnet! Get your 35s but get them on a smaller wheel or get larger tires for your gansta 20s. BUT, I will say that vehicles, like the newer Tundras, that come from the factory with largers wheels solely because they have to be to fit over the increased size of the rotor and caliper are okay in my book. edit: and for the love of God, dont do any sort of white wall. That is a middle age, baby boomer thing. One day, these old men will catch on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these factory wheels or aftermarket wheels sold to you from the factory on the truck? Are you going to be replacing the wheels with 20s that you found, like and ordered?

The_Kat Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Mine are from the factory...... I will be replacing them with a nicer looking set though. I'm not doing anything to the truck for awhile. Quick off subject question for you.....gas filled shocks.....are they worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kat Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 What is your purpose? BDS Suspension Kits offer them and a lot of the research I've done on lifts with IFS trucks recommend them due to being easy on tires and front end components. It's only gonna cost an extra 225$ on the kit. But if it doesn't do what it says then why waste 225$. I know BDS makes quality stuff and warranties their lifts for life....but again I wanna baby this truck and do it up right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 What brand of shocks are they selling? Also, post a link to the lift you are thinking about getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 BDS shocks....its good stuff. 2007-2011 Chevy / GMC 1/2 Ton Pickup 4WD 2" lift kit 167H | BDS Suspension Look in the heading of the lifts...the one I do will be the 6" and I have a WAY lower price!

I like BDS. I ran them on my XJ before I got smart and started playing with links, airshocks and coilovers. But for you, it will work perfectly. The only thing I would do would be to see if you can get the kit for cheaper in they leave out the shocks and order Bilsteins. I would also look into Bilstein struts. Not sure if they make them for your truck or not. They will be a lot better and higher quality than anything else out there. If not or you dont want to pay for them, rock the BDS stuff. Once it breaks or wears out send it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 And yes, if it was me and I was doing what you're doing, I would buy nitro shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Cool....thanks for the info. It's gonna be a good bit before I do anything, but it's good to get a plan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 35's for a 20" wheel are pricey. When I put 35's on my Dodge a few years ago I got a set of 35" MTZ's and 17" ProComp wheels, mounted, balanced, with lugs and center caps, cheaper than a set of 35's for the factory 20" wheels would've cost me. If I remember correctly the 35's for a 20" wheel were around $360 each, and I paid around $340 each for a tire and wheel combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUNTINGMAN Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 That sure is a nice looking truck for a grocerie getter. I wonder what it would do on the logging roads and the mud holes us hunters use. If I had all that money to spend I think I would have to go with the super swamper thornbirds though.

They have zero traction. If you're running a mix of rocks, dirt hills and mud, get the Iroks, if you're running strickly mud get the boggers, if someones heart is set on Intercos.

HUNTINGMAN Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 The thornbirds are more of an all around tire,good on road and other places. I do agree with the irons and the boggers but for a do everything tire,there nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
