The story

I bought the truck in August of 2002 with the intention of using it for playing in the mud and showing off and such, jacking it up and slapping 44's on there. Since the day I bought it I've researched and researched and researched. At the moment the plan is to do a 6" suspension lift (can't decide what brand yet, but I definitly plan on running extended radius arms, and leaf's in the rear instead of blocks. For tires I'm planning on 36x12.50x15 TSL swampers on some chrome 15x10's that I bought but never mounted cause I'm waiting for the money for tires. I already have a light bar on top but no lights yet, gonna run some cheapies till I decide whether or not KC's are worth the money. — Herbert Vining Jr
