How do your 305's ride. I had a terrible time getting mine balanced! Any shimmy or shaking going on? I want to put them on a new SuperCrew I am ordering but don't want to be shimmying in a brand new $35k truck. I am hoping I just got a bad set.

BTW: Great looking truck

J_Rock,

Did you notice any performance loss with the bigger tires? I've read a lot on here that a big issue with the lifting and the bigger tires is that you often have to change gears to 3.73 or 4.10s, I'm not very sure on this issue, maybe 4x2s are different??

I'm thinking about a 3-4" suspension lift, and 305s like yours.

Nice truck man. What are lift lips? The chromed tow hooks are a nice touch. They get pretty damaged off-roading though. It sure sucks when you have to mount them down, because the tow rope is going to want to keep falling off all the time. And it really sucks when your in a big mud bog!
