Got some new shoes 295/70/18 Nitto Trail Grapplers

Got some new shoes today. 295/70/18 nitto trail grappler from a 285/70/17 BFG AT KO. Went from a stock 17" wheel to a stock "18 wheel. I personally could not find an A/M wheel I really liked. I am very satisfied. I looked at many other tires but these just really caught my attention. I can see why so many of you run them. Here are some pics...

Any issues with them rubbing? I am thinking of getting the same set with a 2" level.

Haven't experienced any rubbing issues as of yet.

Looks good! I think that is going to be my next tire. Thanks for the pictures because I was considering that size on the stock FX4 18" rims. I am going from BFG 305/65 18 TA KO's.I've got 40,000 miles on them now so almost time to change.
I have a 2.5 AS. It looks like you have one on your truck, what size and any issues with that size tire?

I am not sure as to whether I have a leveling kit or the height of the kit. I bought the truck used. I always assumed it had the 2.5. No problems with rubbing at all. Got the truck aligned this morning and she drives straight as an arrow.

Does your truck feel like it has lost a great deal of power or strains with these tires? I have read several people recommending to re-gear and/or buy a tuner with tires larger than 33". I am currently stock with 3.55s but will purchase a gryphon in the near future along with this set of tires. Just wondering your opinion.
