Anyone know where i can find a decent(not to flashy) set of aluminum or chrome rims? in canada lol! and Legorette, i have a 3" body in my truck right now and putting a 6" in, so it will be a 9" lift.
Oh, didn't realize that! Keep me updated when it is all done I wanna see how it turns out!

legoretta, how do you like those tires? im still in between the BFG and the Nitto. both are the same price, fairly reasonable so im sure it will be one of those. Do the nitto's wear out significantly faster then the BFG's? i mean, the look of the Nitto's are like you say, striaght sexy, but i wanna make sure its worth it. also, GaNole7, i like the looks of the mt classic 2's, i was looking for a set of them. but im not sure if i want them cause so many other vehicles have them i find. The cepek dc-1 look awesome! any idea where to get them in canada?

personal experience....do not go with nitto terra grapplers. they are terrible off road and dont clean out good and just spin. but id say mud grapplers most diffidently!!

This is my first set but from trusted sources plus research people say 30-40k pending on rotation and driving. I absolutely love them. I grew up with many friends who are into offoading of every spurt and country life. I've seen many tires. Never paid attention to much of names but this has to be my favorite tire. My Honda I had was loud. This is first thing that has brought some of my cars spark back into my life and what better way than on my truck. To me the tires aren't super loud as everyone says but I'm used to much louder. Hands down. I guarantee if you don't mind sound better yet like sound. You will in no way be disappinted with these. I think they drive overly smooth and overall just hit the spot for me. I heard they're not super best on ice and snow and in winter time I go boarding a lot so I hope they past that test

Here's where I bought my Yukon 4.88's and my axles. Fast shipping and very knowledgeable. I would recommend them.
