    Yeah my rule is to never buy the first vehicle you go look at but this was such a good deal I couldn't leave w/o it.

    There was some body damage on it though, driver door and ding by driver bedrail

    These are 35x12.5x18

    Planning on switching to 295/70/18 trail grapplers soon. Got a guy that wants to sell me a set

    No major Rubbing...only rubbing is in full lock in reverse

    It killed my gas mileage. But the 35s look so good!

    The 295s are only .8 " shorter IIRC

    No Problem, a normal 2" leveling kit works better for clearance than struts do so that should help you out

    :drool: I love your truck man those wheels look great on it. It may be just because I love tow mirrors but I think a pair on your truck would look great

    Thanks

    I think they would look great on the truck too! I just don't know if I could justify the price

    But then again I haven't looked that hard either
