I went 33's with my setup because although the 35's would fit, I don't think they are the best looking when coupled with a near stock height.

I think I am on board with Pimp on this one...35 with close to stock is a bit much for me...but thats what its all about...what you like better.

How do you like your Coopers?

I'm thinking about doing the donahoe racing adjustable coilover and then new tires and rims. However after seeing your setup my stock 20's wouldn't look to bad. I was actually thinking about going to an aftermarket 18" rim.

My stock 20 pirelli's stink they flat spot just sitting over night in the driveway and are crap in the snow. Plus a 4 wheel drive should have a more rugged tire.

I love them thus far, I have 2k on them and they have been great. I run them at about 50psi and they don't beat you to death, they are quiet compared to other MT's and wear really well. I too felt the exact way about the Pirellis and took them off after only 400 miles. They are now stacked up in the garage waiting for the first 200 bucks to come snatch them up. I am only going to rock the factory 20's for a while, I just want something with more of an offest, I've even considered and adapter to push them out because I really like the look of them.

I would think there talking about the Bilstein adjustable shock for the front that replaces the stock shock. You can set the front coil over in 2 or 3 different positions meaning stock height, 1" higher then stock or 2" higher then stock. I think there the 5100's series. You just swap out the stock shock but keep the stock coil over spring.

Pimp thanks for the info. on the Coopers. So how quiet are they because I know most MT's hum going down the road and I'm not looking for more noise. Yeah when my pirelli's come off there going to tire recycle waste land. Like you I'm thinking about doing after market rims maybe moto metals or something in the XD series. I don't see alot of moto metals in my area but on here everyone runs them. If I do that I'm going with an 18" and probably 33's in a Nitto A/T, Toyo, BFG or DC II FC's.

You all have some nice looking trucks :thumbsup:
