Ok now that I'm ready I'm going to buy. This is what I have in store for my truck: Pro Comp 6" lift, 37/12.50/17 BFG Mud Terrains, 17x10 Eagle wheels with 4.5" back spacing, Hot Juice with Attitude. I'll buy a new exhaust and air intake later on. You think they'll be any rubbing with the tires? Also, with 4.5" of back spacing will they be tucked in nicely or stick out too far? Thanks

Is this setup that great that no one feels that there would be nothing wrong? :confused:

Every now and then I also wind up taking to myself "A"

So if your going to off road you didnt mention what your going to do about tie rods??? Some members have indicated they are the weak link!!!

I looked up several hyperlinks you may find interesting, in particuler the yellow truck, the last hyperlink was an excellent vidio of a rock climber bending its tie rods. hope you get more replies.

Holy shiza!! Are the tie-rods really THAT weak? I do plan on wheeling my rig but I don't want to bust my truck up. I did buy an HD after all and not a 1/2 ton. :mad: :(
