Pity7700 Build thread, why not? pic heavy!

I say f*ck that guy and get it anyway what's the worst that can happen? Besides it rusting to pieces because you live up north lol

 

The only difference is that you have an extra leaf in the back and heavier springs up front. Screw rough country and just lift it with someone else.

it aint an extra leaf, weve already come to the conclusion tha tthe leafs are just thicker, i dont have more.

that truck looks good aside form the rims but **** man, no wya im spending $1200 on a lift lol trying to buy a house man! $900 was pushing the limit.

hopefully ive got got the rust almost all taken care of. the bed still looks amazing and what ive painted under the cab looks good too.

 

I'll drop mine off when you're done with yours. Lol.

 

really gotta get this rust crap taken care of before anything. lol

its almost finished.


the crappy thing is trailmaster and rancho dont make lifts for the 10 gen trucks.

tuffcountry makes a 6" but its $1300+ rize is way too expensive lol everyone is over $1200 for a 6", i dont need that much lift. thats why i was wanting to go with the 4.5".

i wish our rough country rep would pop his ******* head in on the forum and answer my flippin message i left him a month ago.

there has to be a good reason as to why the 7700 is not recommended for installation of the kit. the rep that emailed me told me the suspension/steering parts were slightly different. would rather not **** something up or wear the hell out of something by putting the kit on after spending $900 on it.

 

hey yall.

trying to narrow my tire./wheel search down.

for the rims the only one I can find are these:

Wheel Products By Vehicle - Discount Tire

im still working on the tires.

I love my BFGs so those are a possibility.

the other tires im looking at are the generals
Tire Details - Discount Tire

or the firstone destination M/T or A/T, depending on whether I can get them in the right size.

ill keep yall updated. trying to write as many estimates as I can for work so I can get a little extra cash from commission. should have about $200 coming my way soon.

 

If i remember right, the Grabbers suck in the snow. I originally wanted those long time ago for mine, and is why i turned away.

Have you tried any of the wheels that Rimzoneonline.com offers? They show a good amount for 7 lug

 

I didn't know that about the grabbers. that would be a problem lol.

ill check that site right now.

I don't know what kind of width or offset I should go with though for the rims.
