I like the looks of that truck. Looks real good, flawed or not.

I'd like to start on the body work this summer like replacing the cab corners and filling all the bold holes in the bed rails. The interior is pretty much mint minus the dashpad and missing headliner. I've got a new headunit I'm going to instal shortly and when I do I'm going to pull the carpet and shampoo it well and dynamat the truck.

Would you please share your lift and tire combo? Think you gave tire size in another post awhile back, but your aviator picture is angled, and these new picture give a GREAT side profile. I'm "hoping" this coming weekend to install my 2 1/2" Skyjacker spring lift, and still trying to decide on tire size of 285 x 75 x 16 or close. Tall and skinny is my goal.
NICE looking truck.

The tire size is 31x10.5-15r on stock 15x8 rallys. I believe its lifted 2-2 1/2in suspension but not 100% sure the woman I bought it from passed away in october. It rides very stiff though all the shocks were white with red boots but someone painted over the entire underside of the truck black. I'd like to change the shocks an switch to some 3/4 springs in the future.

I was guessing about 2-3" of lift, hence why I asked. The stance looks nice. This also gives me a better visual of tire size to mild lift, since alot of these trucks have 4-6" lifts - thanks.
Oh yea I forgot about the 85 series of tires. I'll look into them for sure as that sounds like the right fit for me.

the cab corners are pretty much shot someone halfway repaired them at some point. the bed is flawless other than the holes in the bed rails from where it had a bed liner and a topper at one time. i plan to herculine it sometime myself after i paint it and put a soft tonue cover on.
