Default Got a New ride

I got rid of my S10. My wife and I have been carpooling for some months now, and due to a flat tire on her car, we have been driving my truck everday. With me, her, my lunch box, hers, and a water jug, needless to say it was crowded. We were out looking for a replacement tire(BFG Radial TA) and ended up a Chevy dealer. I saw a truck I liked, drove it, and after they offered me 2 grand over Kelly Blue Book, I couldn't pass it up. Here's what I got.





It's an 05 w/34000 miles. Towing Package, Bose sound, LineX, 5.3 H/O with factory E-Fans, 17 inch brushed aluminum wheels. I haven't owned it a full day and have already added a K&N filter, and I am already planning different exhaust. I am not going to do anything major until the warranty(extended 3 year/36000 mile) runs out. After that, 4 inch lift and some 33's.

I'm in Benton, about an hour south of you. Thanks for all of the comments. If a 33 will fit with a TB crank, will 35's fit on a 4 inch?

It should fit a 35 with a 4 inch lift. I don't think you'll have the best articulation, but if your not rock crawling you'll be fine. It is a very nice truck, and you made the right call

just go true 6" from pro-comp, get some ford torsion keys and there ya go, you can fit some 37" Irok radials

the 4" and 35's would look real clean especially with some m/t's
