Tires, Wheels, Lift ordered

I jut ordered my tires today. Tires and lift will be here wednesday and the wheels should be here wednesday,friday at latest.

I ordered the 6" Fabtech with the dirt logic adjustable coilovers, which I will be cranking up as much as they will go. I also have a 2" AAL on the way, thanks to Nooq

For tires and wheels, I ordered 20x10 Black Mazzi Hulks and 37x13.5x20 Nitto Mud Grapplers. The Nittos werent what I wanted but no dealer here sold Toyos.

Ill be doing the install this coming weekend and Ill take pictures along the way for everyone to see. Just thought Id let everyone know before hand

EDIT: HERE ARE THE INSTALLED PICS!!!

I cant believe the people that sold nittos didnt sell toyos. Or couldnt have at least ordered them. Nitto is made by toyo.

I would have but I wanted to get the tires from a local dealer incase anything went wrong or I needed a different size tire for any reason, I could just send them back. Plus I know the guy I ordered the tires from pretty well so it made me feel more comfortable than ordering from someone I odnt know.

Believe me, Grapplers werent my first choice, mainly because alot of people have them. But I needed a 37x13.5x20 tire that was aggressive, and that was the best route next to toyo...

The guy you were talking to must have not known too much about Toyos. Regardless, it will be a sweet looking setup!

The nitto's ride pretty good, and look amazing. But they are very loud, and wear quickly even when you watch how fast you run turns and rotate them at every oil change. But like I said, they look tougher then pretty much any tire out.

Your truck should look good.

Its going to be about 8" of lift total with the coilovers cranked and the 2" AAL in the rear. I shouldnt have any problems. If anything I may have to do some very minor trimming

Watch your angles when you crank those coilovers. I have the Procomp stage two and have about seven inches of lift in the front. The angles are acceptable but any higher could cause problems during serious off-roading.
