looks much better Zac. Fills in the fenders much better. Those are the tires i wanted to put on my truck but went with some michelins instead cause the nittos shorter tread life.

Thanks Joe, I like it a lot. Just need to get used to it and see if I'm done there or if I want to adjust it some.

Trucks look great guys!
So far the lil 4.6 in this thing is doing great with the added tire size. I'm sure this will hurt my MPG a little. Anyone wanting to guess my new mpg feel free to chime in. lol

Here's a pic without 4 rims and tires in the bed. Aweful quality I know, but the truck sits pretty level right now. Might be 0.25" lower in the rear.
Still debating raising the rear up an inch. BTW Craigs drive way is located on the western side of pikes peak. lol
