I still like how it looks in the first pic but the third pic is definately mean looking. Best looking set of 19.5's I've ever seen.
On another note, how are you liking that crossover steering? I'm debating doing that as well.

Crossover steering...Love it. Easy to install, other than drilling the pitman arm. Easily serviced, and tough! I like the fact that I can rebuild it completly, not have to replace EVERYTHING...just the rod ends!

If I did my math correctly, it comes out to 15.56% difference between a 245/75/16 and a 285/70/19.5. Personally, I like how it looked before. I like a taller sidewall on 4x4 trucks, and for the tires to stick out a little. Not 3-4'', but just a little. Those are the best looking 19.5's I have seen though.

GPS is telling me 18%...at 59mph, the speedo shows 50mph. 59/50=1.18, or 18%
I like a proportional tire..not a little tiny wheel and 40" tires...I also needed plenty of weight capacity in case I ever have to pull something...farm equipment can be heavy! Not too mention I've never seen another one set up like this...the rest of the truck is different, might as well make it a package![Wink](https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
