4in springs up front, stock rear. I need to get a few trucks painted but have no time. Hopefully I will find time soon. Thanks for the input guys.

Isn't stock but looks fine! I think the saving grace is that they are still black steelies and not some yo yo bling alloys. Only the cool kids with smoke stacks run those for some reason.

What did they come off of?

are you rubbing any sheet metal?

4 inch lift looks pretty well done - I don't see any problems with it

Not meaning to ask a stupid question, but what did this do for your top end speed?

No rubbing, not even close. The skinny tires clear everything fine. As far as top speed, I haven't ran it with the gps so I am unsure. They measure out to about 33.5 in tall. They are 8 lug off of a p chassis Chevy. (chip truck)

I know you just did this, but you could in theory go to deuce wheels, and run something like 9.00 or 11.00-20s on those. You have clearance right? I don't really know the total height difference there, but it would be neat, and add part interchangeability. Someone did this on a m1008 I think.

The 900's are roughly 40in tall, I didnt want to be that high in the air with this truck, and these where a direct bolt on. No adapters/spacers/custom work at all.
