Hey there everyone!

Ive been kickin around this forum for a little while but haven't posted much.

Just picked up this 1998 k2500 ECSB a few weeks ago, so I decided to make a thread for it.
It has a newer 5.7 in it with a cold air intake, 4l80e that shifts nice, 14 bolt rear(not sure if SF or ff)
Has a 3 inch bodylift, some kinda rims ive never seen before(if anyone knows feel free to let me know), wrapped with 37x12.50r16 nitro terra grapples
Planned mods: push bumper with fog lights, swap in my pioneer stereo, install my cobra 29 CB, and some basic maintenance stuff

Thanks for looking and feel free to let me know what ya think!

Wow, 37s with only a 3inch body lift, looks real good

Thanks, the previous owner trimmed the bumper and fender to clear em, they still rub a little bit but not too bad

Looks like it's a semi float 14 bolt. Sharp looking truck man.

Could you take some pictures of the trimming he did? I agree that looks bad ass with the 37's. I like the wheels too.

Can you measure the height from the ground to the underside of you fender flares? I want to compare to my truck. I have a 4" lift with 35's but am considering 37's

It was 24 and 1/4 inches from ground to bottom of rocker panel, and 43 and a half inches from ground to the fender flare

So ive decided that instead of replacing my gross, broken old center console with an OEM style, that im instead goin to attempt to build my own. Tentative ideas are built in cupholders to alleviate the use of the stock pullout unit in the dash, as well as trying to repurpose the sliding drawer from the back of the console. As of right now im wanting it to be 17 inches tall/deep, 26 inches long, and about 8 3/4 inches wide, all while reusing the factory mounting location. Hopefully ill get somethin drawn up and start building in the next couple of weeks after I return from Illinois. Anybody have any tips or suggestions to help me out? Thanks
