[QUOTE="snowflake, post: 38742, member: 152"] the next step, was tires. Originally it had 31" tires on it, so I decided that would be ideal, seeing as how it would already be geared for it and the speedo would read correctly with them. Shopped around for a while, then I found these guys, [url]http://www.treadwright.com[/url] I researched like crazy, and not once could I find anything negative about them, so, for 450 dollars shipped, I got 4 31x10.5R15 mud terrains (they actually are more like a very aggressive at, they don't clean out in mud very well) on BF Goodrich A/T sidewalls, 3 ply with a rim guard :thumb: [IMG]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w280/Yamaha95/isuzu/treadwrights002.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w280/Yamaha95/isuzu/treadwrights001.jpg[/IMG] It was also around this time that I got the shocks for my lift, Skyjacker Hydro 7000's, I had searched for lift kits, but all of them came with cheap shocks, which wasn't acceptable. So, with those items installed, this is what it looked like.

[IMG]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w280/Yamaha95/isuzu/100_0025.jpg[/IMG] Installed with poly urethane leaf spring bushing, and with a little bit of torsion bar cranking this is what I got [IMG]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w280/Yamaha95/isuzu/liftedisuzu004.jpg[/IMG] a trip to the alignment shop and bam!
