As for the ABS light, I think that the speed sensors on the front and rear are kind of sensitive to work around. I had to replace one of mine after re-installing the offset version of the 2 incher. Just FYI.

The trucks look great Infantry and Hotstang.
I haven't noticed any noises from my Bl but the truck has rode harder but I can blame that on the new 37's on 20's (put them on same day as the BL) rather than the BL, in hind sight my old 35's on stock rims rode like a cady, but I will take the hard ride anyday for the look the truck has now.

Just an idea, you might be able to find a tire store that will let you test fit a set of tires. I know shops around here have told me that they would let me test fit them. If they don't fit, get the 38x15.50s. Either way, it'll look great!

HOTSTANG46,
In my opinion, you could run the 39.5's with my same setup.....that was something i was considering a while back...but i really like the way the fenderwell looks with a lot of tire clearance, so after my 37's wear out, ill go up to a 38" nitto mud grappler - max, unless by then they make a 38/20/15 super swamper irok- dont really wanna lose the power with anything bigger, but i think if i wanted, i could easily fit 39.5's right now with no trimming or other mods...go for it!
