It's been almost 3 years since I sold it, but I'll never get over it....
This was the first truck that I ever bought new. I don't have any old pictures but it went through a lot of different changes.
Started with a 2 inch drop shackle and some 15x10 with 295/50/15, After that I wanted it a little lower so I added a 2/4 with the same wheels and tires. That lasted a few months and I ordered some Centerlines 17x8 & 17x9.5 with 245/45/17 and 275/40/17 and added 2in drop spindles and a flip kit so that made it a 4/6. It stayed that way for a little over a year. Well I wanted it lower so I ordered some Eibach 3 in drop coils and a 1 in shackle so that made it a 5/7.
Now I see why I had so much money in it because I changed it so many times!!!
The 17's looked small when everyone started running 20's at the time I worked for Discount Tire so I started looking into wheels, Well after several days I found the wheel that I fell in love with. It was 20x8 and 20x9.5 Billet Specialties twin spin with Michelin pilots 245/40/20 and 275/35/20 I dumped $4,800 on that set up, but it was money well spent.
I wanted to get it bagged so bad! I was on the list to take it to Loco Motive in Houston. I waited over a year and Mike Cotter was next in line his truck and for whatever reason gave me his spot in line. So there it sat for the next 6 months, Yes I was not thinking it would take that long but the guy that did it has a full time job and does this on the side, plus his work is topnotch. But when I picked it up it was perfect I drove the truck bagged for 3 years with out a single problem.
Here are the specs when everything was said and done:
