. As for the $7k bet it handles awsome but I would have spent it a little different. Nice looking though.

Ya I definitely don't want a E rated tire again. Way too heavy considering I dont tow anything and my dirt bike is the only thing ever in the bed. The Trail Grapplers should last well considering they're made by the same company as Toyo. I was trying to get a set of General race take offs from Geisers PRO 2 truck but they have to give them back to General. They were 35/12.50/17's and C rated. . . Perfect! LOL

yea the only diff on mine is they are really light aluminum....don't let the chrome fool you. they were chrome plated. they use my rims for jeeps to rock climbing since they are one of thee lightest rims available. when my rims were dismounted last time, i lifted one of them and was like wow i can toes this thing very far. it felt as if i was not carrying anything

my reaction was like this thing must weight close to 15 pounds or so......lol

Nah. Nobody actually reads picture threads. More posts means more views.

What did bother me was so many people convinced I overpaid by thousands of dollars for what I did but other than a little here and there nobody has given much more information than opinion.

I plan on moving on to the exterior next. Paint the chrome bumpers and door handles body color. Get an Armade air dam and black tow mirror caps. Add a Grillcraft grill. Lastly do lighting mods by converting all lighting to LED and HID.

I am entertaining the ideas of Bushwacker fender flares painted body color and AMP powersteps. Have to see how much the tires hose the truck given their width.

That's because it is just opinion and it really depends more on what YOU are wanting and there are likely alot of details that the rest of us are unaware of.
