WOW... This thing can WHEEL!!!

Went on a short but good ride today. Take a look at this thing! No rubbing and fantastic articulation. It got kind of harry in a couple of spots but it was worth it to see what this truck, and I, could do.

Only hit once.. and that one just touched the front skid plate.

This is stock with a Daystar 2.5 inch leveling kit and 325/60/18s!!!

I am impressed but that is JUST me:











Tires rock! They stuck to the slick rock like you would not believe. Notice I am leading the way for the BOWTIE!!

Sick. I might have to check those out. It's not an issue with the back spacing and the 12.5" tires on the small azz rim ?

But aren't the stock rims 7.5 inches? I'm looking at Nitto Tires website and they recommend 9.5 - 10.5 inch width.

Hey 1fittyjer, did you lose a bead at all? The reason I'm asking all this is because I'd like to buy the tires, then get some new rims later down the road. The stock tires are just terrible.

Kick ***! I like those tires! Is there a thread somewhere on how much they set you back? They've got a pretty slick website and the size I want.

Notice I am leading the way for the BOWTIE!! ...I thought that was a rope I saw behind your truck pullin that chevy...j/k.

I take my truck off road from time to time. I have heard my skid plates drag alot and the rear outboard shocks too.

My 02 and 98 lariats didnt drag half as much as the 04 does.
I guess I just need a 6 inch lift.
