M/Ts on a 2wd?

Well, I'd go with the Hoss wheels since they look best out of the 3 chromed.

I like #1 but do you really need the MT's on a 2WD truck? AT's should be fine but it's your cash. Money wise, there is a big difference between the two. Good luck on whatever you decide and post it up when your finished.

A/T's

You can't go wrong with BFG AT's. Take care of them and they will last forever! Just a thought.
