6500 tricked out for a 93 jumbo w/ tires wheels lift jeff 6500.... more pics and description under the minis for sale section below
23 AND 25 inch tires 3-4.5 lift both trucks have 3" strut spacers. one truck has an extra rear leaf spring which gave the rear about 4 inches of lift and a 1/2 inch thick wedge between the axle and springs to realign the rear driveshaft. both trucks have the new hd 250lb front coil springs which I found added about 1-1.5 additinal inches of lift as compared to the old factory springs. one truck I had to use a 6 inch shackle to get about 5 inches of rear lift to level it out. one truck has 23x8x12 diamondback tires and the other has 25x8 and 25x10x12 Mudlite XTR radials. a word of wisdom, the mudlite xtrs are actually taller than other brand 25 inch tires. the mudlite xtrs actuallyy measure about 26- 26.5 inches but they fit great under my truck and never rub... they did rub a bit prior to the new front springs though!
