Got my 4.5lift and 22x12's on

[SWIFT]

I have only had the truck a month but you know how that goes. so far only mods are Line-X bedliner, tint, lift and wheels/tires. Truck has plenty of power stock for now. Its a 2012 with 14k miles.

Love the look, I will probably go with 37's once these are worn out. These pics aren't the best but I will get her cleaned up and post new ones when I go to a better location also.

Lift is a 4.5 Rough Country kit with dual stabilizers. Rides like stock and tracks very straight. I will be removing the 4in block for a 5in block as I dont care for the "lean" look. Tires do not rub at all now but doubt 37's would fit unless adding a TEI spacer. Wheels are 22x12 Gear Alloy's and Toyo 35x12.5's.

Next up is to remove side steps until I can do Amps, black PlasticDip bumpers, Grill surround and mirrors. Also want to do the headlight blackout mod too, or tint these. Unsure yet.

Wow, sharp truck!

I would remove the huge white 4x4 sticker and maybe do a nice exhaust system on it to get rid of those hideous tips ford uses but otherwise two thumbs up sir!

Agreed, the 4x4 and exhaust look like ass for sure

Awesome look man! Those gear wheels are growing on me. And definitely do the ugly 4x4 sticker delete.

Looks great man...few small things I'd change but overall great truck.....love those wheels...looking to make the jumps to those my self....

Nice rig. Personally I think I like those 35s on there

 

[Dzchey21]

looks good

 

[noopS]

looks awesome. 35's look perfect

Looks good. I agree with the 5" block in the rear, it'll look even better.

On a side note, what kind of chevy truck is that in the garage there? 69 or early 70s?

FYI a TEI spacer and 22 wides with 37s will rub like a bitch. My 13 rubbed like a sin at 5.5" with 22x10.5 and 37x13.50.

Unless you like going in a straight line, stick with 35's or plan going 6-7 inches

Thanks,
The truck in the garage is a 68 C10 shortbed. I love old cars and trucks and am a huge fan of the old Chevy/GMC stuff. For daily and a Heavy Duty truck Ford has always been my choice. Here is a pic of the 68, its just a good running old shop truck.

The truck has too much chrome IMO. I will be paint matching the bumpers, the dip is just experimental. I almost went with chrome wheels, the Gears look awesome in chrome also. Then the bumper would have been fine.

Thanks

Always been a huge fan of the 68-72 body style

Really liking that Chevy. I've got a 70 Chevy but not in as good of shape as yours.:toast:

 

[Agjake11]

Looks good. Man I like the wheels with that color really makes me unsure on mine with the same color.

:thumbsup: Nice! My first truck was a 70 long bed. Sold it for an 83 short bed. But always loved those 68-70s in a short bed.
