Needed some new shoes and wanted a bigger footprint.
Decided to get 17" rims and some BFG's.
Went with MB Predator rims and BFG 315/70-17 AT T/A KO's from Discount tire. After they gave me about $450 for my Michelins, I was out the door (with replacement certificates included) for $1260.

I am running Skyjacker D25 coils springs (~2.5" lift) in the front and stock setup in the back. I had to trim a little metal as you can see in the bottom pics so that at full lock when going over bumps the tires didn't hit. On level ground at full lock there was no contact

What ya'll think?

Looks great...!

 

I like them

 

Looks Great Rob!! Very nice. I likey!

I know you tow some, but not really heavy. Mike (XLR8R) has those same wheels and he cracked two? of them I believe while sledpulling with his heavily loaded truck. Discount tire warrantied them though. You shouldn't have that issue.

 

Looks slick

 

Thanks ya'll.
Wanted something that looked good, didn't cost and arm and two legs and wasn't "blingy".


Now I'm wondering if I can run bigger brakes.

Yup...theres a thread here for converting third gen brakes to the second gen trucks.

 

Sweet.

My wife won't like it if I spend more money, but I'll just blame you Doc
