Looks like the torsions are cranked in the front already.

I've never had a tire rub once, and I've bounced around offroad pretty good. I'll see if I can post some more pics tonight.

Smaller tires are lighter and faster

Great price! I want to pick up a ECSB 4x4 for a new daily driver so badly, but that truck would be priced at 15K+ around here.

I'd do Ford torsion bar keys and a add-a-leaf in the back and run 305/75/17s

I might be shopping again in a few weeks. I'm looking for a 2wd 5.3 reg cab, then 408 it.
