Well I took out the AS's, lowered the rear 2 1/2", debadged (4x4) it, and took off the 295/70/17 Nitto's (although they still fit without rubbing). I am now deciding when I am going to lower the front and rear another 2" all around... guess I just got tired of the lifted look...
I have placed the Nittos in the classifieds, and will soon be placing the AS's in there too, so I must be serious about the new stance..Once I get a chance I will get a few photos of it posted..It does handle a lot better and the ride is now smoother too. After the additional 2" lowering that is coming up, I will be adding the Roush Blower which I am really looking forward to..Just what the doctor ordered, a lowered, supercharged 4x4 Supercrew.....

Correct. I had absolutely -0- issues with the AS's, and I had them in for over 30,000 miles....

I'm not having issues with my AS 2.5 either but I'm tired of everyone that rides with me bitching about having to climb up into my truck.

If I had more time then I would do what marc did just to his 4X4.

So the 295's fit without rubbing? What configuration is your truck again? I wonder if the 295's will fit a 4x4 supercrew?

Thanks for your comments on your choice of blowers, but as some here know, I work with Troyer Performance and I will go with the Roush...

Tardman:
My truck is an '04 4x4 Supercrew. The Nitto 295/70/17's fit fine on the stock suspension without a clearance issue. I had them mounted on Mickey Thompson 17x9 Classic2's. I am now running 285/70/17 BFG Rugged Trails on those same rims, and have no doubt what so ever that they will clear fine once I drop the front another 2"..
