i love both looks of your truck! I was just wondering, what was the reason for going from your 37s to 35s?

thanks-

Looks great.

I like the new look better. It is difficult to explain, it just looks cleaner.

Thanks for all the compliments!

As each day went on i couldnt wait to get rid of the mud graps. The noise they create is not worth it to me anymore. Going down to 35s feels good with the 4.56s, my truck now has acceleration. Change is good.

As far as the rear bumper, the photo is deceiving. Although it is off a little bit i bought it like that from the dealership. After i took delivery, i did ask them to fix it since it looked worse that it does now but if you look at all the other pics i have in my gallery, it is the same nothing has changed. I will post pics when part 2 is done...

Well, i didnt really like the 37s with 4.56s and since toyo or nitto do not make a 37x13.50-20 in an all terrain i decided to try out the 35s. I am really glad i did because not only are they quiet but they match up perfect with the 4.56s.

haha! Nothing major just something small to finish off the look. I guess i should not have said "Part 2", more like "to be continued!"

the amount of lift and size of the tires looks good. did you do anything to the suspension, or just down size the tires? i'd guess since you were running 37's, that you have a 6" susp. and a 2.5" daystar?
