i have an 02' 2wd, i put a 1.5" daystar coil spacer leveling kit and i am running 10 ply bfg rugged ta's in a 265/70/17. i think i looks pretty good, but keep in mind that they will rob power. other than that they are awesome tires, they have very good traction wet or dry on the pavement, and they pretty good at mild offroading, which is fine considering we have 2wds. i am actually going to do a spindle lift and probably get some 295/70/17 nitto terra graplers, i am in northern, ca if you are interested i will sell them pretty cheap, and they have about 6-7000 miles on them and they still look brand new

You didn't say what year your 4x2 is, but the 265/70-17's will fit regardless using the OEM wheels.

it is a 2005 that I live in I drive it so much. basic white but it does the job.

any idea if a limited slip or a locking differetial is a good idea for towing and getting a trailer and boat out of gravel boat ramps and ski hills.

thanks
