dis nice. what else you got planned for it


Drive it for a while, since ive got it i put the new 22s on, intake, tint, led bulbs, brakes and a hub. i like the ride now. Yea itd be cooler lower but i dig how it looks and ride now so it'll stay like this for a while. Im not going to to debadge it cause the paint forusre is faded around it and leaving moldings on so i can park it anywhere and not worry about door dings

Not sure yet. Truck isn’t getting traded on anything, may sell outright though. Just enjoyed the truck more when it was leveled so going back to that.

I’ve always said a leveled truck is best. A bunch of my friends have had lifted trucks and it’s more of a pain than it’s worth. I can’t crank my Dmax any more, so I’m going to get a 3” lift and just keep it low. I just want the front up a touch higher to get it sitting right and clear 35s.

Yep. And preferably OEM wheel. I only want another inch out of my Dmax but angles are already as far as I’m comfortable. Gonna do the LML wheels with the old bolt pattern to get rid of the spacers and 35s

Yall are getting old too fast. We have plenty of time to be old, let's not accelerate it lol.

I love the look of a lifted truck, I've always had one, im sure I always will. Just how much depends on the amount of usage. I think I'm at the point of a 6" and 35s is all I'd go on a daily driven truck for 10-15k a year.
Anything above that is reserved for a fun/weekend truck. That's 8-12" territory and at that point you get to a minimum of x12 and 37s and that starts to wear shit out.

My 6.0 is at 8" and 22x12 and 37s and I guess it's a happy medium. However if I weren't geared in 4.56 I'd probably go to a 6" and 35s, x10. But 35s get small looking real quick on these trucks, and 4-6" looks ok with x10 but if I put an x10 on my truck now it would not look right imo. I also think I'm done with 22s on a daily driver. Tires are expensive and I'd prefer to have a little more tire a 20" is a good compromise

X12 still gives a deep lip and nice look, but isnt as aggressive on front end components as a 14 wide, of course it isnt as good on them as a 10 wide but that's life.
My buddy offered me a pair of 6" fabtech springs that he literally put on his truck 3 months ago and is taking them for 4" icons. I might have them powdered and take him up on the deal.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the look. Corny’s crew was perfect before he sold it. But I daily my truck 15-20k a year and use it to tow at work a good bit, don’t want any taller than that 3” kit and 35s. Plus my short ass couldn’t get in it lol.

I also have no interest in trying to keep the thing clean with x10s or x12s. My truck stays filthy just with LMLs and 2.5” spacers. I like the tall and skinny look on an HD more and more

100% agree ... I always felt like the truck needed about 1" more in the front and it would sit right. I also always hated that I had to run the adapters.
