I've been waiting for you to post photos because I'm considering do the same thing.

Thanks all. I do have the air thingy and have to agree with Phil. With it engaged, the additional 2 inches puts the ass of the truck up so high it looks silly. I believe it has to do with the arc of the control arms as they are pushed further and further down. The rims are a close fit. I had to trim the rear upper control arm mount slightly and smoothed the front uper control arms slightly. I then twisted it up and about slid it sideways to check for tire contact. So far so good. I really have to thank Phil for teling me to give it a try before buying new wheels. Phil you saved me alot of money
. The tires are the MTZ 38X15.50 on a twenty inch rim. They are snugged up under the truck which I kinda like, and with the zero offset should be kind to my bearings. What I really recommend are the 4:88 gears. This truck has suprised quite a few with how well it comes off the line. On the highway I am spinning 2400rpm at 70 mph. Again thanks to everyone on the forum as your pictures and tech advise has led me down the right path of modification. Now if I can just get out to Moab I can see what the truck can really do.
. Also sorry about any pewter envy.
