yama52: Nice ride, I assume you have a 2/4 drop kit and maybe the shackles too?
Did you use TPMS or not? If so, tell us your TPMS story, thanks!
(mine are waiting to be put on Friday when I am off)

at discount tire online...they have if you order tires, and have them balanced and mounted, the TPMS fix is free. Im going with the Kuhmo's when I get the 23's. Total is $8??.00 for the tire and mounting

edit: be sure to post some pics when u get them on

Thank you, I have the Mcgaughy's 2-4 kit. The Ride is great, no more body roll. What does TPMS mean? The tire's I got from Discount, they are the 305-40-23 General Grabber UHP. I like the tread pattern. They are 175.00 a tire right now. I wanted to go with the Eibach 2-4 kit but when I tried to order it about two months ago it was back ordered because the leaf spring where being redesigned. The Mcgaughy's kit comes with shock extenders so you can run the factory shocks. The ride is good like a sport truck should be.

TPMS - Tire pressure monitering system (i think) all 07+ have it. those wheels sure do fill out nicely. And that kit leveled it out pretty nice with just the 2-4. How much was the kit?

those wheels look big on your truck..24's or bigger for some reason...maybe its the drop

The Kit was 490.00 shipped from Godfathers. They rub on the sway bars full lock to lock but not all the time. I think its just in reverse. No problems while driving, very smooth. When you get the tires put on make sure to have the tires road forced.

Road Force is top of the line balance system, simulates, well road force and tells where and if tire or rims is out of round, much better than static balance. yama52: I take it you did not use your tire pressure monitor system then?

Thanks bro!

i was told that it's going to be impossible to disable the tpms monitoring system, according to a tech friend of mine. i took the cluster apart and put a small piece of black electrical tape over the back of the applique, so the light wouldn't shine through. and NO you just can't take the bulb out, its a orange led and it appears to be soldiered in a series. just another money maker IMO.
