That will be done soon. However they're in such good shape I almost feel bad about taking sandpaper to them... Yeah, the XL's have a distinct humm to them but nothing like those RT/II's did. Their noise with the quieter engine isn't bad at all.

Thanks. They're a hell of a package to start with.

Mostly done. Just gotta do the work to clean up my cutting and fitment work. Ended up only lifting the front 1" and not moving the axle forwards. The front driveshaft isn't long enough to be moved forwards much at all, let alone an inch or inch and a half. Moving the axle forwards an inch...

There's a set on eBay at any given time. Some of the surplus trucks and equipment dealers say they can still get them as well. I'm getting mine through a guy that's been selling a truckload he bought for most of this year. Stumbled across him and couldn't pass up the deal. Good guy and he...

The tires aren't expensive if you can still find a place that is selling them for what they are, military surplus. My set SHOULD cost me $620 delivered with a spare and about 75% tread. Mounting, balancing beads, and the wheels are extra obviously. My plan is wheel width and backspacing, some...

RE: Re: RE: Hehehehehe...it begins... 38's will be schweeeeet. :D

RE: Re: RE: Hehehehehe...it begins... Yeah, I lived in an apartment complex before this and "my garage" was my buddy's 80-year old house's dirty sand floor garage. Years ago I used to belong to a Chevy forum where there was a member from Germany who owned a mid 90's Chevy Z71 with 3" of lift...

11.00R16 Michelin XL's on GM 16" factory steelies (MAYBE some of the 99+ 2500HD bling bling 16" aluminum wheels...MAYBE...) Minor fender trimming that's pretty much already been done and they should fit. Debating 1" lift in the front and moving the axle forwards an inch for clearance and to...
