I used CST (California Super Trucks) 4" lift spindles, 3" lift blocks, and cranked my torsion bars 1". I plan on installing a set of 4" Deaver springs and airbags for a better ride and for 1 more inch of lift in the rear. Of course that's with removing the block, otherwise I'd be looking at 7" of lift.
I've heard/read claims as well with the wear not being that good, but I guess it all depends on how you drive it. Most "regular" use, people have claimed to get about 20-25k miles out of them. If I had the extra money and if I were asked for recommendations, then I would highly suggest the Toyo Open Country Mud Terrains. I know you guys are thinking, how could I recommend mud terrains. Well, these are just as quiet and have BETTER wear than the Nittos, but you'll pay more for them.
So Tony, if you decided you wanted to get rid of your Nittos for bigger ones, I'd definately opt for the Toyo Open Country Mud Terrains. Or...you could always buy the ones I have, they only have 50 miles on them. $1300 and they're yours.

Those wouldn't fit on my truck without a lift. The 305s (33s) fit on my truck with a completely stock suspension. I still had to trim the inner fender lip up front on my truck, and the lower part of the wheel flares. They fit tight as-is. I can't lift my truck or it won't fit in the parking garage at work anymore
. I'd like to do a 6" suspension lift and bigger tires, but that probably will never happen since we do not have outside parking at work, just a parking garage.

Either way, your truck still looks good. I like the color. The set of wheels you have were my 2nd choice at the time. I don't know all the circumstances, but I know that my work's parking garage wouldn't stop me from lifting my truck. I would find another spot to park.

Looks good. I like my Terra Grapplers that I put on the '99 Dodge I have now. They're really quiet too, and wear good too. I have 325/70/16s with just a 2" coil spacer on the front.

A fellow co-worker has had his F250 broken into twice, stolen once from parking it next door....because it wouldn't fit in the garage.

Nine Ball, that's what I figured. That's why I said I don't know all the circumstances. I'm sure bigger tires and lift would make it more prone to be broken into or stolen.
Thanks again everyone for the compliments. I really appreciate it. I take very good care of my things and its nice to know 2 hours of cleaning it pays off. That's just a basic wash too, so imagine if I fully detailed it.
