Are 38s an option or are you stuck on 40s? I was told that they would work with a fender mod.

I didn't want to chance catching my factory fenders at full flex, plus they seem more "proportional" with the 3.5", if that makes sense. I like having a little fender gap.

Here is mine to give you a visual

Whats the height to the roofline? Trying to figure out if mine would still fit in my garage after the lift.

Just recently went to 40’s. Every upgrade possible on stock axles. The truck feels and handles great?? Love the look, Clayton lift and ride!!

With 40s there will always be a fuse somewhere.

Love those rims. Machine alu on white is awesome.

Huh, wow, mine says commercial too.


Spend $2-3k, maybe more, to save like $100 a year?
