I repaired the area on the roof of my Silverado, but found another area that needs repaired.
Lol...isn't that how it always goes!
Well, i'm needing a little advice here. Before the trees fell, I had bought some Procomp X-Terrains in the 325/80/16 size (roughly 37 x 13s) some new Moto Metal rims...

I liked them with the black truck color scheme, but I'm now rethinking. With the previous setup, I was planning just a 6" Superlift. However, the bumpers I'm using were custom made to fit a 3" body lift, perfectly fitted with no gaps between the bumpers and the body. Thus, I've decided on this build to use go with a 3" body lift, the 6" Superlift front springs with longer shackles, and the monster rear suspension.
I found a set of Toyo M/Ts on craigslist, brand new already mounted and balanced on black steelies with rockrusher rings. The tires are 38 x 14.50 on 16 x 8" rims with 4.5" backspacing. I've ran 2 sets of the Toyo M/Ts on my newer Dodge, and I seem to get 40,000 miles out of them, they're extremely tough tires, very quiet on the road, and get good traction as well. I think I've convinced myself to get these, as the price is unbelievable, and I think the bigger tire will look a little better. However, unlike most other brands, the Toyo's actually measure every bit as big as advertised, and sometimes a little bigger! I think for offroading, these steel wheels will be much more practical than the flashy aluminums I have now. I'm also contemplating painting the rockcrusher rings on the black steelies to match the truck...
On the previous build as well, I had gone with the Bushwacker cut-out fender flares. I think I might go with these again on this build? Will I be able to clear the big 38's with the cut-out flares? I'm not too concerned in the rear, but the front I think is going to be close...
Is there a better option for trimming the sheet metal other than the Bushwacker cut-outs?

The good news, is I only had installed one front and one back on the truck before it got smashed. I learned alot from that installation, and think I could do a better job this time, but I'm open for suggestions...
Also, it seems like I don't see much on here about the Superlift springs...rather, everything is mostly Skyjacker. Is there a reason for this? How do the 6" Superlifts flex out compared to the Skyjacker?
Finally, what are your take on shocks? I'm thinking about going with some Bistein 7100 remote reservoirs. I bought some Bilstein 9100 2.65 shocks for my '06 Dodge, but they're not in the budget for Warren. The 7100s seem to be a reasonably priced alternative for a shock that is user rebuildable, and can be custom valved. Is anyone running these?
Thanks, Eric
