i will be using the 2005+ complete front end, thats why i was thinking about buying a clean title wrecked truck that i could throw a nose on but i dont want to have to tweak a frame back straight......cheaper to just spend 1K and buy the nose.....no stacks either, i dont want stacks in my nice truck, not with the custom paint job i am planning......

yeah, i dont know if i want to use a dually or a single rear wheel, i would like the dually for pulling but tires sizes are limited, id like to have tall and skinny but its hard to find unless you go with a mud tire, i thought about a 35x10.50x16 Swamper Bogger, or a 38x11.00x16 Swamper Bogger, but the 38's are pretty tall.......

Did you consider BFG mud terrains? I think you can get them in 10.50's or 11.00's if not you could put 12.50s on it and run spacers. It would just be really wide.

i dont mind spacers but you get the ballooned look cause of only having a 6.5 inch wheel and a tire thats twice as wide.......BFG dosent make anything in 35 or taller and that skinny is the problem........closest thing is a 255/85/16 and they are only 33.5 tall.......
