Haha my list goes gears, get the rear bedsides on, long travel the rear, then tires, then long travel the front haha. But I've been checking craigslist about once a week or so to try to find a deal on some 37s now

Yeah, I mean real tires. Not swampers or the bfg baja's. No use to spend that kind of money for them to wear out in 10k.

uh...there are? I have them on my truck right now, and I'll be purchasing a new set of 38's here in a month or two..

Toyo makes a 38 with a 16 wheel (used to be the 38x14.5R16 pictured in my sig I had for awhile, now they're some metric equivalent)

**** Cepek makes a 37 on a 16 wheel that I'm currently running (I think I have a pic or two in my gallery)

There are a few other brands as well that I can't quite recall

Where'd you buy the tires at OP? Like I said, I'm picking up a new set sometime in the next month or two and have no idea where to buy from. **** has changed a lot in the last 2 years it feels like.

It's going to look good. They'll help hide that gap in between the bed and frame. Or you could get a roll of Ice Shield from Home Depot and cover it. It's sticky on one side, so you can size it,hang it and pin it w/black screws and washers real easy.

So come on already, while we're young...

I will vouch for the toyos, i ran a set of 38x15.50R18 for a while, great ride decent of road and they seem to last longer then any other tire i have been around. I would still be running them but i bought the 41's from off road magazine, they used them for testing then sold them off, ended up making around 800 dollars getting these tires and that i will never complain about. Check the link about below for the non-believers. Jerrod Jones drove down in meet me in San Diego in that truck.....at the time it was on 40's and my truck on 38's sat around 3 inches taller. Long story short he was suppose to come back and get the rims and after over a year never did so i had no use and didnt want to bring the all the way back to va so craigslisted them.
