Its a modified draw-tite. I had the receiver moved from the bottom of the cross tube to the center of it. It gave me about 2" more ground clearance. The Warn sits that high from the factory.

Man. I just called around to try to find a set of the 255/80-17 KM2s and the only place that has them is Tire Rack on-line. Costco doesn't even show them as a stock item at all on the Internet site. What happened? BFG stop making them?

Costco online only shows OEM sizes, you have to call a Costco.

I painted a set of aftermarket rims on my 1/2 ton Ford like that. I used high-temp barbecue paint. Everybody laughed at me until they saw how they looked, and the paint has held up well. I just didn't like the shiny rims that Discount Tire put on with the BFG's, so I decided to paint them.

Very nice guys. I need tires for my dually, but I'm leaning towards the Hankook ATMs.

I have been running 255/80/17 KM 2's for about 4 months now on my 04 dually with no issues or regrets.They are unbelievably quiet and I get a ton of compliments about the look.
