Interesting that the toyos are only about $2 difference per tire between a 35x12.50R17 and 35x12.50R18... KM2s are normally $50 different per tire.
I had toyo m/ts ordered for my truck, but I had to cancel the order when I found out that they would rub the upper control arm on stock wheels due to the more aggressive side wall. I may end up buying a set whenever I finally lift the truck and get different wheels. My only real complaint about the KM2s to date is that the sidewall feels a little soft on my truck with D rated tires. The 7.5" wheel isn't helping a lot though either I'm sure.

The blocks the guy sent me for the rear are not what I thought, I thought they were F350 blocks with the ears, they are just normal 3" blocks and no ears. So I will probably find some 4-5" blocks with the ears and get new Ubolts. I could just remake the front spacers a little shorter though. I am not sure what I will do until I see it with thetires mounted.
why dont believe me? Its just a 2.5" lift. Nothing special.

I agree about paying too much for the name to some extent, especially for their a/t. I have been really happy with the performance, just don't like the sidewall much still.
The rubbing would have been constant on the upper control arm. With the km2 I have about 3/8" between the sidewall and the upper control arm. The only option with the toyo (wider and more aggressive sidewall lugs) was to run 1/4" spacer up front and I didn't want that.
By the way, what leveling kit? New caster bushings/adjustment with it? Might suck at 2.5" without that.
My rear blocks are 3" without tabs for bumpstops too. :( I need to replace them with something different before long since I effectively don't have bumpstops now.

The price was the same between the two, everywhere I priced them at the time. But the 17s were nearly $50 less per tire in the km2.

Wow, it looks about perfect. I think you're on the right track actually, lower the front and inch or so and it would look great.
I need to stop looking at your truck, it is set up almost exactly like I would want one right now. Ultimately I'm glad I didn't get a diesel after reading about all of your issues, but that looks just right.
