She is done!!!

Finally my truck is done. Specs on it are....6 inch Rize radius drop brackit kit, 20 inch procomp 6089's and 37 inch Toyo MT's. Thanks to the guys at 4wheelparts for hooking me up one hell of a deal on everything!

Nice looking. Now the grill needs to be next to finish it off.
I love the stance and the rims.

There arent many grilles to choose from. I like the Lariat chrome edition but its pricey!

So far I love the Rize kit. I think my rims are 9.5 inches wide. It sits a little higher in the front which I like. So far I would never recommend anyone ever buy these Toyo MT's....I have had super bad "wheel hop" while driving ever since I put them on. Hate em.

Nice job on the truck...looks super. Not sure whats happening with your wheel hop, myself and many here have the same tires without any problems. Sure it's the tires? Best of luck...you're going to love the truck.

Traction bars'll cure the wheel hop.

Nailbender if you can afford it go with the 4 link setup. Rize make a killer 4 link.

Well I got my truck back once again from 4wheelparts. They said they actually took it somewhere to get the tires road force balanced. They ended up replacing two tires but it still shakes at like 40-60 mph. I am so pissed. They keep tellling me that "its a 37, its going to have some hop"....thats crap! I think im going to take it to ORW or somewhere to have it balanced myself. Isnt it like 1 out of every 100 tires is out of round? How the hell did I get a whole set?!!?!?! If it isnt the tires what else could it be? Its not at startup so it cant be axle wrap. I am sure the guys at 4wheelparts arent that moronic to not be able to balance a tire and rim! Am I just the most unlucky person in the world?

Which question do you want us to answer first? Sucks your having so many problems with the tires.

I have a hard time believing that you got 4 bad tires (or 6 including the two they replaced) as I went through two sets of 38" MTs on my '01 and all 8 tires were smooth a silk and lasted over 40K miles each.

As far as the 4Wheel techs...well, it ain't rocket science.

Well it turns out they replaced 3 damn tires and its still doing it. Im think maybe its one of my rims or something. I can feel it at low speeds and it just gets worse at higher speed. You would think they would be able to see if a rim is messed up while balancing? Maybe?
