Here it is guys. RC 3.5" with upper control arms. I did NOT install the rear blocks, I preffer my trucks sitting Cali style. The wheels are American Racing Teflon coated Mojave's with a 0 offset. I've had this style when on a previous truck and enjoyed the ease of cleaning. The tires are 33x12.5x17r General Red Letters.

For those wondering here are my before and after measurements to the center of the wheel wells.

Before: Rear 39" front 36.5"
After: Rear 40.5" front 41.5"

Nice truck man. It looks awesome! And great choice in running General Red labels! The best tire by far I run them on my fun truck and have never had an issue with them.

Sick looking truck!!! Love the pre-runner look! Did you have to do a lot of trimming to fit the 33's in the back?

Thanks guys! No trimming and no rubbing in the rear. A little in the front, but will go away when I do the NorCal trim.

As far as sticking out, it's not bad. An inch and half at the top MAYBE. They do throw a lot of road oil on the sides of my truck I noticed, but that's no big deal to me

How does the truck handle now with that 3.5 in the front? Is it a lot more ridged than stock or does it still have some of that cushion?
