It's time for a Change, New rims and Tires... Post your Pics help me out
 
Okay so my truck has been in it's current look for like 2 years now. I'm Ready for a change. Currently it's on an Autospring 2 inch Front Level with the 3 inch rear blocks. Procomp 6032 20x9 wheels with a 0 offset and Hankook Dynapro ATM 285/55/20 tires.

I've had a couple of issues here lately, The Procomp wheels are sheeting the chrome off since a pressure washer mishap at the car wash in Atlanta. The Hankook tires are cracking in the side tread. No issues it's a 10 ply E Rated tire it just bothers me I see cracks when I clean them up. The last issue is my rear blocks, I didn't put a bump stop extension on it and made three trips getting concrete pavers for my patio and I believe I overloaded it and bent the leaf springs. The ride is much softer in the rear and actually rides better I've just lost the ride height the blocks added.

Rear lift fix I'm going to throw in a set of 1 inch rear lift shackles to get my ride height back...

Rim's I'm looking at the RBP 94r's in a 20x9 0 offset, Black with Chrome Inserts...

Tires I'm at a loss as of right now and could use some input... I'd like to go a little taller then the current 285/55/20. I love the stance on Desert Dawg's Plat with the 295/60/20's but that is a hard tire to find in an A/T with a nice side tread. I like the aggressive look but don't want loud M/T's I live in a huge town so to go anywhere I'm on the interstate at 80+mph. The truck is a daily driver and hardly ever goes off pavement. Once in a while we'll go play in the soft sand at the beach, or maybe i'll pull someone out if I can get to them and not get real deep. I'm not a young one anymore and enjoy my engine bay being "mud free" so I won't go get it dirty like previous trucks.

So I ask what's out there that is not loud with a nice side tread that I can fit on my 09 FX4 with a 2 inch AS Leveling kit?... Can someone give me some input on the Trail Grappler in a 295/60/20 and the Duratrac 285/60/20 how loud are these? Should I look into them or stay with a nice A/T to keep the tires quiet? Post up some pics with your stats on tires size and lift... Thanks!

I can comment on the Trail Grapplers. I have them in 295/60R20. I love them. The only tire that compares to it in looks (in my opinion) is the Toyo Open Country M/T. But they are basically the same tire. Anyway, the sound is not that bad. To me, the looks of the tire outweigh the sound. It is noticeable, however. If I have my radio turned up about a 1/4 of the way, I have trouble picking out the sound of the tires. The hum is most noticeable at above 65 MPH, which is where I do 90% or more of my driving. I don't mind it at all. Here is a pic, followed by a video I shot to show off my new exhaust, but you can hear the tires in the video. I would say it is a decent representation of how the hum is. I reach about 75 MPH at cruising speed in the video:
