Yeah I think they would have fit. I am getting no rubbing at full turn but I think 35's would look good, but my ride is different already at 35". I love the look. I have to some step bars so my girlfriend can even get in.

I think you truck would really look sharp if you added the chome nerf bars, something to break up the white.

That Black truck with the BFG's looks super.

Ok, I have a stock 06 SuperCrew 4X4 with 275/65R18, little over 32 inches tall. If I get Hankook AT LT275/70R18, about an inch taller but the same width I should be OK...right? No leveling kit

Man i think you would be OK. I would recomend the toyo MT's to anyone. the do have a little road noise but they aernt bad, and look tough as hell.

I am goign to order the black steps I think. I like the white to black contrast, with dark tinted windows for sure.

My intake should be in today, and I have talked my self into buying a custom tune from VMP they seem like the guys.

Then I will be done, well I would like to have an LCD dvd screen and get my kicker 10's in. In order to do that I have to raise the back seat though. this shi* gets addictive !

Pioneer has some great low profile speakers - I was looking at them the other day. Let us know how the intake turns out.

Mike,

I would but I already have 2- kicker 10's and the amp with built in xover. I had all that plus component speakers in my 83 SWB Chevy 4x4 and it rocked. I think I will go with the pioneer double din deck though.

I will keep you posted on the intake as well. It will be a few more weeks until I get the xcal3 though. I have to stop spending money on this thing sometime.

The truck will ride different than stock. The tires alone add a lot of weight and that translates into a loose feeling steering wheel over bumps.The mud tire will ride rougher than what you are used to just because of the larger lugs and spacing of the tread pattern then add in the fact that they are 8 or 10 ply tires. The noise never goes away. Adding a steering stabilizer will help with the loose feeling steering and some of the vibration but I don't think anyone make s a true bolt on kit for the newer trucks. Try doing a search for steering stabilizers and see what it kicks back.

The truck looks good and the tires are bad a$$.

Thanks legiron,

You know actually I am getting used to the ride difference, now it seems normal. I love the mods, like I said you don't want to stop once you get started.

I'm with you on that one. No matter what kind of mods you're into, performance, sound, looks, et cetera; you can blow every paycheck as you go month to month.

35s will fit with a level kit no problem. Your truck looks pretty good. Be sure to get it tuned real soon since you have modified the induction and suspension. If you got a King Ranch you wouldn't have any money for modifications with how costly they are!

Truck looks good. If not off roading much I would have gone with the A/T. Get a programmer and that will get you some of your power back.

Yea I really should have went with the AT but, they are not allot cheaper than the muds. I really like the agrressive look. My CAI hasnt came in yet. Hopefully today. It sounds like it will be a breeze to put on and I should get it done tonight, if not for sure tomorrow. I have been looking into the xcal3 with custom tunes from Justin but that will be a few more weeks and a few more paychecks. You can get a little carried away with spending. Although the truck looks and sounds 10 times better with the mods that I have. I feel pretty good about it. 05 4x4 with under 40k miles with less that 17,500 in it. I can live with that.

I have 32 inch Highway Tires. Don't notice any power loss, and no noise increase at all. Can 1 inch make that much of a difference?
