New guy with Bilsteins and Raptor wheels/tires PICS added

Been lurking around for a while but finally found a reason to post something. I know this is a tease as I don't have any pics up yet, I will later today.

I have had a 2010 SCREW FX4 for a year now and recently decided to add the Bilstein 5100's and some 33" tires on my stock 20" rims. Well, after doing some off roading and destroying two of my rims I had to purchase a whole new set of wheels/tires.

I went to my local offroad joint and they had some new takeoffs from a Raptor for a hell of a price. 315/70-17 BFG TA/KO. Almost 35"! I was somewhat apprehensive that these would fit, especially considering that I actually take the truck offroad and needed full articulation.

Everything I had read on this forum the last few months suggested that this size wouldn't fit. Well, it does, and it fits great with no rubbing anywhere. It looks friggin awesome.

Once again, I promise I'll get pics up later today.
Thanks

looks nice, that lip damage to the wheels could actually be repaired by a professional, if you still have them and were wanting to get something for them
