No problem...





The wheels are 20x9 with back spacing of 6 3/8" and offset is +35. I expected them to stick out a little more than they did, but I was never a real big fan of wheels/tires that stuck WAY out...

Looks great and pertrudes just the right amount from the wheel wells. Awesome!

What gears are you currently running? 3.73?

Go for the 4" Rancho.

Gears are a waste of money, all things considered, IMHO. They never pay for themselves in the long run given the MPG benefits; and /power/ride quality, I'm told, compared to OEM, while somewhat better, doesn't warrant the 1K plus you're bound to spend.

Good luck.

Thanks! Yeah, I have the 3.73s right now, but since I do 90% city driving I was thinking the gears might be a good option. Driving around so far I haven't really noticed alot of power loss, so I think I'm leaning towards the Rancho right now. It'll probably be a while before I have that installed as I have to save up for my honeymoon in November.

Those are the tires I want to get. I don't see any mention of a leveling kit in your profile, so I assume they will fit without a leveling kit with no clearance issues at all?

Looks great!

jrbhc8 is correct, I have a 2.0" AutoSpring leveling kit, I just ran out of space in my profile to list everything! The tires are 34.7" tall (according to BFG's website) so they won't fit without some kind of lift and wheels with specs that are very close to the stock wheels.

I got it off one of the online mega-sites (autoanything, truckstuffusa, etc). I've been thinking of replacing it with the Black Carriage Works billet grille, but haven't seen any good pictures of it yet, so I'm still undecided.
