Taken just the other day after I managed to do the 2" body lift and new wheels.

Very smart!

are they the skull tyres?

looking good mate.....

They are the skull tyres. I rang the supplier and was going for BFG's but they didn't have them in. But they had the Dick Cepeks in the right size so I think it was fate. I've been offroad a bit since and they are great through mud and the peat bogs. I hardly needed to put it into 4WD. I'm gonna be really challenging her over the next few months.
On the road the wheels are great a fair bit of noise but now they have been on for a few weeks they have quietened down a lot. Great stability and handling. The only thing left to fins out is how long they will last for.
I am more than happy though.

Nice truck.

Is that with just a 2" body lift or does it have a sus lift too? Was the body lift a kit, and if so, where from?

Just trying to get some idea what mine should look like when I finally get the time to do it.

It has a 2" sus lift as well as 2" body lift.
I got the body lift from Steiny on here. With mine all I needed was the blocks and bolts. I didn't need to do much to it other than the lift itself only had to take the bottom of the radiator shroud off and loosen the steering and tighten back up after. The hardest bit I found was getting the ###### old bolts undone. It took me half a day to get one of the rear ones off! Would be much much easier if you have someone to help you too.
Get your body lift kit from Stein.
Don't get your shocks from Explorer UK! If you go for Pro-Comps go for ES3000. ES9000 are very harsh on the ride. I got my uprated springs from Roughtrax. I also took my side steps off and it is really noticeable the height difference when trying to get in. Also since I have been offroad after all these mods the truck runs a treat. Not got stuck once yet. (famous last words!).

Ta, I couldn't have done it without the write ups and advice from people on here. Took me about a year to work myself up to it.
