Nice!

 

[Tonka350]

thanks guys, here's a better day picture of what it looks like now, the wheels are simply AMAZING! I'm still putting 2" wheel spacers on it just to help with the little bit of rubbing it does have when turning right hard lock due to the tire size....not a big deal though. I am in the process of getting the interior swapped out and painted now, the door panels are done for the most part, dynamatted all 4 doors, waiting to replace the carpet and headliner before I go and do the floor, back wall and roof when I put the black headliner and carpet in. it looks pretty awesome right now. I finally got around to doing all the door jambs black as well so it's a pretty great looking truck now!!!

Those Ion wheels are nice. I was looking at those too when I first lifted my truck.

 

[Dmstrucks02]

That SOB looks huge in that pic, do you have a picture from the back of the duals?

 

[Tonka350]

your welcome chad :toast:

here ya go bud

 

[Dmstrucks02]

Cool, I must have missed those. Did you end doing dual 5"?

 

[Tonka350]

no I ended up doing dual 4" with 7" tips...it was alot cheaper and easier than converting to duals with the 5".

Wow Looking good buddy cant wait to see whats next.

 

[Tonka350]

finally got the matching headlights installed!!! ford wanted 66.xx per 9008 headlight pigtail!!! I went online and bought both for 25 shipped and had them 3 days later!

I feel bad for the person in front of me HONESTLY! 6000k 55 watt HID's in the foglights and headlights. I'll have to get some more pictures but I finally got the lights wired up in my 08 mirrors after 3 months of having them installed in them lol

and one for good measure.....this things tire was taller than my truck!

That thing is fuggin huge!!! Looks awesome! You do all the work by yourself?

 

[Tonka350]

thanks man, it is massive lol I honestly think I can clear a 46" claw if I really wanted. yeah I did all the work myself except rebuild the tranny and paint it. but everything else has been done by myself and my good friend. it's kind of my "relaxation tool", I bought it bone stock in December 08.

Thats awesome man, truly one of a kind. How do you get in it? I assume you just jump, what about your wife?

 

[Tonka350]

I just climb right up, it's really not an issue...it's actually easy. the only time my wife has a hard time is when she's wearing a skirt but most times we just drive her dakota since it's only lifted 6" when she's dressed up. not a big deal at all....the biggest problem is seeing over the hood around corners and stuff....but I'm thinking about going bigger once I get to Florida...I'm thinking about putting it up on 49's strictly as a show truck.

wheels look awesome...we have a set of 22x14 diesels sitting in the shop, but i like the ions alot!...You get the interior done like we talked about? Also you doing just king shocks, or going coilover set up? Id like to do a coilover set up all around on my truck but its alot of fabrication!
