That looks awsome, what a difference a new set tires can make.

Those tires look great!

You said the truck is sitting 2" higher. Are those tires 4" taller than the other set, or did you do a lift/level?

At first, the installer at the shop said there was no way that they were going to fit w/o a lift. He was so sure that he did a test fit with one front tire before they would go any further. It's a tight fit, but they go from lock-to-lock with no problem. I moved my camper around today and had to do some pretty tight turns in reverse - at no point did I hear or feel anything rubbing.

Thanks! Every where I've been in the past two people keep asking me about my tires and telling me how cool they look. With all the mods I've made to all my rides over the past 20 years, I've never had so much attention paid to my tires.

No lift or level - just tires. I measured several places on the truck before and after getting these installed. Across the board, it's now sitting an even 2" taller than it was with the 265s I had on there before.

These must be 4" taller than what was on there before, because not only is truck sitting taller - but now the gap between the top of my tire and the apex of fender opening went from 8" to 6".
