When trying to figure out what size tire you can run with a lift you must take many things into account. 1st off your width of tire. 2nd width of wheel 3rd backspacing of wheel, and 4th offset. diesels come with a -24 off set which makes them hang out alot which means a smaller tire is used. Also a 6" may clear 37's with some cranking and trimming, but that is a 37/ 13 not a 15 inch wide tire. He is runnin 12 inch wide wheels, and 15.50 tires. and then add the offset to that and it is a disaster.

BUT yes it could fit much larger tires/

i looked thru a thread over on DP that was 71 pages and only found 4 trucks in the entire thread with a different color powdercoating than black. I have tried cardomain, google, and other diesel sites. I have been flipping threw the past two years of diesel power and i can't find much. I have to be decided by tomorrow at lunch. If i am indesicive at that time i might just leave it black as bad as i hate to. But it all has to come back off in a year or so when i do upper control arms, and dual shocks i guess.

These are two local companies that do lots of lift color-matching/color craziness.

I like the white in the pictures of the SoCal truck you posted. Looks real clean, if you can keep it clean!
