Thanks guys!!! My plans are to eventually get a tuner for it but level kit and tires are pretty high up on the list. Love the way you truck looks Dixie! Did you lose much power or mileage with the bigger tires? Pretty much the exact set up I have envisioned for it. Paint the grill black,paint the mirror caps silver,tint the front windows,etc. Nothing crazy but tasteful.

Nope! I even went back to my stock tune and cant tell a difference from my old SCREW that I had for a few months. Plus they dont rub since they are 34x11s (275/65/20) The 20" wheels really set these trucks off IMO. All you need is an AutoSpring 2.5" front leveling kit to really run these tires. If you want a little wider tire, go with the 295/65/20 Nitto but they may rub a little on the UCAs at full lock

Do NOT do a 3". It will start to mess up front end components. 2.5 is perfect. Mine sits level as can be. 34" tires are PERFECT on our trucks. You just need to decide if you want 11" wide like mine or the wider 285/65/20 in the BFG. Stay away from Goodyear or you wont be doing it just once

Yeah id have gotten the BFG as well if they were not so dang high!!!
What my truck looks like with BFGs:
Those were 325/60/20s or a 35.5x13" WAY TOO WIDE for these stock wheels. Sure it looks beast, but it tears the fame and UCA up as well as the inside of the tire

I do! This truck has little things like that added to it that even the guy who sold it to me didn't even know. Oh! And they put a new manifold,gasket,and studs on it the week I bought it!!!! Makes me very happy since I was fighting that on my 01.
