Nice truck for sale.
Any one know who this proud owner is?
I wonder if the CV noise is related in any way to the lift.

Aye, that caught my eye as well.
CV wear probably isn't related to the lift as it's only a 30mm lift.
It just looks a lot higher because it had the hell cut out of it to fit the 31s...
I wonder more about the steering and bjs etc looking at the width of the tyres and off-set though
Still, it certainly looks pretty aggressive, and I bet it goes as well as he says off-road. I'd like mine to be not too much different from this one eventually.

My 31-9.50's are skinnier than the 215's that I used to have, it actually made it EASIER to steer!

Indeed because skinnier = smaller contact patch = easier to steer.
But they must have been pretty skinny 9.5s to be skinner than 215s though (or pretty big 215s  ).
