New Pics..Installed 34inch Nittos

Hey guys!
Installed my 2inch HBS level yesterday and got the tires installed today. They are Nitto Trail Grapplers 295/60/20 (34s) there is minor rub full turned on the front lower plastic valence but thats it. They look mean!! Ride great and barely any road noise. Pictures arent the best taken off the iphone real quick

I got the tires on ebay from discounttiredirect for about $1400 shipped to my door. The best deal i could find on the net shipped.
HBS level $80 installed by myself...$60 alignment..$50 mounted tires

I can def feel my truck being higher while jumping in and out of the truck. Almost feels/looks like its lifted! Exactly the look i was going for.

Heres some pics!! trucks dirty!

looks really good.

Have you considered having that bull bar powder coated to match the wheels?

they can do any color for powder coat just like paint.

I wish i could do another set of MT's but they'd just take away too much power for towing so i'm going to be stuck with an AT with i do this to mine.

is the truck completely level with the 2"? some photo's look like it and others don't.

i have a 4 inch lift and 35's and they rub just like your talking. i have toyo's and with 26k on the clock they are about to need replaced and was thinking of nitto a/t or m/t. the m/t is cheaper but im worried about the wear and the ride...

Looks awesome. Curious how long did you have your windows tinted before putting on the inchannel visors? no issue with the added pressure of the visors causing the tint to peel off the inside of the window ?

Looks bad ***. I have never seen an fx4 with chrome handles. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the fx4(no chrome). Nice pics too.
