New Shoes - Finally KMC/Nitto

Was finally able to get this done. I am blown away with the new look. Feels like a new truck.

KMC Brodie Black/Machined 20s
Nitto Trail Grapplers 305/55/20

See signature pic or album for previous set up. Let me know what you think.

Do you have any lift kit installed? Level Kit? Do the front tires rub under sharp turns?

Looking for my sons 08.

Front has 2 inch level spacer.

Back has 2 inch fab tech blocks.

No rub at all. I tried to get them to rub today in my first test ride. They never did.

Congrats, great looking set up. I thought I had decided against a true mud tire and have been considering the Duratracs or Cooper STTs, but dang those Trails are just so nice!

Good job!

Nice wheels! They definitely compliment the truck well. I am jealous and searching for wheels now for my 2000. Wanna sell your stockers???

Call me crazy, but is your tread pattern running a different direction on the passenger and driver sides of the truck? It looks to me as if on the passenger side the tread is running in the correct directional rotation, while on the driver side they are inversed (?). It may just be a normal characteristic of your tire, but may be worth taking a quick look at.....
