you really need a 295-45-20, 275-45-20 or 275-40-20 then you can go 2/4 without any big issues.

whats the offset on your wheels?

I am buying new tires for it in about 2 weeks. Thinking about running a little taller and wider tire in the back, let me know what you guys think!

Nice combo! Very clean and the chrome is just right. I think larger out back will give it a raked look, something sport trucks need.

Thank you! Thinking about the same size up front, and probably a 1 or 2 taller and probably 2 inch wider tire on the rear. I do not want to change rims, so if I can make it 3" wider on the back I will, but I am not sure how wide I can go with that rim. Gotta talk to the guys at my local discount when I get the money.

You wont be able to rotate like that and honestly i dont really think a wider tire will look right on that wheel, the size you have now looks like it sits pretty good on the truck/wheel combo.

I was thinking about a 3/4 kit. Let me know your guy's thoughts? I was set on changing the tire sizes and everything, but you guys seem to really like it, so since it needs new tires I will just put the same size on and maybe a lower kit?

What kit do you recommend? I just got the truck. I have been driving a ranger around, but this is my new toy =D Lifted the ranger, I want to go opposite with this one.

If you are already set on how much you want to lower it, do that first. After it is lowered then go buy the tires so that you can fit/fill the fenderwell gaps accordingly. Most 3/4 kits will not give you exactly 3/4. Some give more, some give less. So do that first. OH, Yeah! Nice truck.
