Yeah...I was just looking at the gallery of your truck. I'm kinda on the fence. They look great on your darker color, but would look out of place on mine...at least till I got my black wheels. I really wanted to have mine powdercoated like you have yours painted...but I can't spring for new wheels right now to take these off to have that done! Oh well...Ill just keep saving till I can afford the ones I like!!

OK...Well, it is settled! My truck came to me leveled up! I will have the almost new 305/55/20 Nitto Terra Grappler All Terrains mounted and balanced sometime within the next couple of weeks! Does anyone know if tape weights can be used with off road tires? Or even the stock 20"s? I would like to use these as to keep a clean looking lip on the wheels...Thanks everyone!

They used the stick on weights for mine. Didnt ask they just did it anyway. He also thought they were custom wheels, so maybe thats why.
Cant wait to see your truck w/ the 33's

I can't wait either! I am just worried that the 13.5-14mpg Im getting will suck even more! Also, I do like to hang the back end out every now and then when its wet...I don't play when its dry....How bad do you think it will kill it?

Those tires look good! You will be happy with it. Your economy shouldn't suffer real bad, they aren't a aggressive A/T or a M/T tire so your good.

Your truck is definitely leveled. Compared to my '04, with the extra 2 - 3"s of height your valance has from the ground, and your trimmed valance,,,





Your definitely leveled, and it looks great. One day I will be too..

I have seen a personal best of 15.6mpg. I was EXTRA easy on her that week. I haven't let the truck get below a half of a tank...but this is the first week since I have had it that it will get lower. I think I may have a stroke at the pump come about thursday or friday! Also, would I need to have me speedometer recalibrated for this tire? How much will I be off?

OK...Now, next question...haha....Where can I get this mysterious "custom tune" that some speak of. I am a Corvette guy who got sucked into buying a sweet 4x4....thats a Ford. I now have NO knowledge of who can and can't work on my truck.
