Default Thoughts?

Alright.... I know i'm looking at buying another truck but... if for some unknown reason the contract I will be reading tomorrow for the new truck seems sketchy and I back out....

What do you guys think about these on my truck?

Not a huge fan of the tires but I think it's a pretty good deal

They look pretty sweet, but I'd have to see a chop first. They'd make your truck sit up pretty high with those tires lol

It depends what direction you want to take the truck.

yeah I know dude... I was not going to go this route with the truck but I have some pretty good ideas for what I want to do to it... I'm going to try and get my level kit on there before I come down to OK for break..

But before I do all this... When I was at the dealer looking to buy the new truck I had the truck serviced and found that I need upper and lower ball joints and new U joint so I'm going to take care of that first before any tires or lift is put on.

debating.... this is the direction i'm headed in D.

or does that kinda stuff not belong on a 1500?

I think my truck with the level them rims and the toyo mt's with that bumper would look pretty tits..

I would not put the red rings on the rims either it would be all black

if you do a level i would run the 35's imo beefy 33"s on 20"s look super small and just to let you know the mud grapplers are amazing in most conditions and look badass imo but they wear faster than almost any mud tire i would be surprised if you got 20-25k

this stuff belongs on a 1500 but i would call and talk to road armor specifically before you buy and make sure their bumper fits on a 1/2 ton 07 bc i'm pretty sure it won't fit bc i'm going through all this right now

this is how the stock brackets are as you can see the big bumper pads are welded on



this is the aftermarket bumper and the brackets for it



ummm



so you have to cut the bumper pads off the front frame horns to make it work

I see.. I caslled top gun customs and they told me that that bumper would fit my 08' 1500 with all the parts needed to install.. I asked him like 12 times "are you sure" because if I get a 500 pound bumper that does not fit i'm going to burn your shit down......

But I see your problem there... I'm going to call and let dude know this...

On the tires, thats why I dont want them because as much driving as I do i'm not going to buy tires that last me 4 months and they are done.. I really like the look of the tires but not enought to buy a new set every 4 months..

I'm trying to stay from the 35's I have always been a fan of trucks with 20's and 33's MT tires. I like the way it looks but we will see
