Thanks for the comments guys i will try to take some better pics.
About the wheels, what is the offset or backspacing of my stock wheels? I have my eye on a style that comes in either 16x8 or 16x10, what is best for my 285/75/16's, and if i think i may upgrade to 315's one day should i do the 16x10's for sure at that point?
don't get too greedy, yet. keep a very close eye on the inner CV boots, it probably will start to sip some grease, that means you are at the maximum height. if they hold up well after 500 miles, then you can crank it up a little.
