That is coming too....after I am done with the exterior. But not sure...I just want something slim for sound nothing huge and exagerated...I really dont want to give up my cargo space. I might get a Rola basket...that would do it ...ain't it? thats 40 pounds right there on the rear.....LOL...plus I love how they look.

What about these tires? If you have a local place that can get Yokohama's for you this might be an option. They look cool, seem to last and they're very reasonably priced.

I have yet to drive on a Yok that I didn't like...

Thanks for the compliments .....

I am thinking about 2 - 3 weeks from now...I am just trying to get the best price.... I already chose the rims.... and almost 99.9% for sure which tires. But price could change the tire option...dunno...but I am in love with the Cooper Zeon LTZ's and they are fairly cheap. To be honest..... I want something that not only looks good but performs good too. I have seen others that may perform better than the cooper but I dont like how they look or they are too darn expensive...All around it looks like the best option for what I want and for my budget are the LTZ's

IMO the zeon ltz's are sh1tty tires, i had them on my 05 silverado before i got my runner and they were garbage, i had to replace three of them within 10k miles of owning them, they are really just a knockoff Terra Grappler. If you get them good luck.......

i'd stay away from all of those tires...go with a goodyear wrangler silent armor in 255/70-17. they're getting great reviews, and will look great with that lift. and the best part is the price! only 109/each from tirerack.com!

JAC, whats the mid setting of the adjustable bilstein? can it be set 1.5" higher than stock? thanks..
 
I agree on Yokohamas. I put some on my 03 Pathfinder (please don't hate me) and it was like night and day. The thing had the stock Cooper (I think) tires that were pretty much bald after 19,000 miles of light freeway driving. I put on some Yoko AT's and it was like night and day. I felt like I was driving a totally different vehicle. I sold it about 5,000 miles later because Nissan was a bunch of jerks, but it sure did ride nice. Yokos are great tires.

Bilstein

Bilstein's ride height adjustable 5100 Series replacement shocks for coil-over design front suspension pickups utilize the vehicle's existing stock coil spring.
The 5100 Series (Ride Height Adjustable) shocks feature multiple snap-ring grooves on the body of the shock to accommodate different spring seat positions, allowing height adjustments from 0" to 2.5", depending on the application. By raising the spring seat position, the factory rake can be altered to achieve a level front to rear ride height while accommodating up to 33" diameter tires.
Bilstein's patented digressive self-adjusting valving delivers improved damping control and a smooth ride on all road surfaces at any speed.
  • Zinc-plated bodies
  • Self-adjusting deflecting disc valving
  • High-flow piston reduces harshness
  • Independent rebound & Compression Tuning
  • Larger Working Piston Area for Exact Damping
  • Superior Control for Large Diameter Tires
