Looks much better!
Any rubbing? What did you lift end up being?
Off topic but I know you had XREAS and Cornfed 3/2. How was the ride? Im looking to get a lift and debating spacer or OME.

I like 'em. I'm thinking about getting the Nittos myself.

Thanks guys, as always I appreciate the compliments. I will try to address all of the questions without a 10 page list of quoting everyone.
The Nitto's are great, which is why I stuck with them. I just wanted larger tires since the 265's were from back when I had the 2/1 cornfed on my truck, and I am now netting somewhere between 3 and 4 inches.
I had minimal rubbing when they were put on since I had already trimmed MASSIVELY from when I experimented with aftermarket wheels that the salesman sized wrong. They rubbed horribly, and nothing we could do would fix it. So alas, I returned the wheels, but the trimming was permanent. There is minor rubbing on the mud flaps at full turn but it's small enough that I think I will leave them on. I clear the rear mud flaps just fine.
I haven't noticed any power loss, so the V8 must be more than sufficient. I also went from the stock tires, to the 265's, and now to the 285's. Having the middle size in there made the difference unnoticeable.
Eskimo- The OME lifts more in the back than its supposed to. I would either do the spacers, or go all the way and get coilovers. OME also rides VERY stiff. I recommend SAW over OME and even Icon. The back rides super rough with the 2" spacer, especially on speed bumps.
Clemson- Buy my 265/70/17 Nitto's. Only 12K miles on them. :bigok:
Thanks Chris,
Hopefully he puts his on soon and we can get out and compare them. I doubt he will have them on by this Monday though. We are going to Big Bear, which we were supposed to do last Saturday but I became very sick Friday.

Next on my list is to get the last of the Icon stuff off of my truck (the rear coils) and then probably start thinking about getting full skids from Bud Built. Then maybe even a light bar similar to Blairs.K.C. said:

Ugh, I was going to hold off on putting my tires on but since I cant stand having nothing but a smaller version of the tires Josh has on, I might be putting my Mud Terrains on now.
Looks great though, we will see how they preform on Monday! No girls will be coming up to you telling you that you need to get bigger tires!
