I got my spacer today, 2.5" Looks so good, I'll get pics when I get my tires mounted and when I get a charger for my camera. 2.5" makes so much of a difference.

Im keeping the stock rim, I'm going to the tire place to decide on which tire I want/need. Some of the tires get expensive. All I need is a 35 all terrain thats aggressive, nothing special. Any ideas?

Alright I will when I get the tires mounted.


Also, a little side note: The front end is higher than the rear. It doesn't look bad, and I also knew that that was going to happen with the 2.5" Just throwing that out there for any one who was curious. Kind of looks like a "Cali lift" ha

Cooper Discover STT is a great tire. Look and quality of Toyo MT at a muh better price. I've got some pics of my truck level on 35" STT's in the first gallery and a good close up shot of the tread in my 2nd gallery. They are great tires.

Those are pretty nice, are they good through mud? Thats pretty much the only thing i'll be going through down here.

good choice going with the 2.5". I went with 2" and a 1.5" AAL and there is still plenty of rake. wish I would have done the 2.5" but not worth the time for .5" now...

If ur looking for an all-terrain that is a little aggresive they make the **** cepek fc2s for 18's in 33s and 35s. This is the next set of tires im going to get. i had a friend that got 55k out of a set of 33s on a 2500hd chevy.

Yup.

I've had great success off-road with these tires. When I switched from claws to STT in my 01 I thought I would have trouble with a really steep, loose dirt hill I like to hit. NO PROBLEMS with that or rocks.

As far as mud goes, It's not a directional tread pattern so you can expect a little caking in thick clay or mud as with most mud or AT tires but with enough negative space to get the job done if you know what you're doing.

Best thing about em though: treadwear

You missed out on a REAL good deal I had on a set of barely used Kumho Venture AT's 325/65/18. $300!
