I have less than 500 on mine, but so far I am more than pleased. They are way better in the rain than the tires they replaced (my whole reason for replacing a set of tires that still had about 10k miles worth of tread left). The little bit of mud I have used them in they self-clean real well (actually toss mud into the air) and on the dirt they are very grippy. Basically, they perform how you'd expect a new BFG A/T KO to perform. With my slightly offset wheels they do not rub on anything, but I'm sure if I got real tweaked offroad with the wheels turned I could probably scuff an inner fender pretty easy. Contemplating a body lift to prevent that.

With the new shocks, blocks, spacers, bumpers, new u bolts and add-a-leaf i payed around $500. I actually checked all the junk yards in my town for a 2500 with no luck. Would have been nice. Now all i need is a set of 35's and some offest rims and she'll look pretty boss i think.

I dont mean to hijack the thread but arent the 2500 leafs and blocks wider than the 1500's? If theyll work id go to the junk yard tomorrow and get some cause I just did the same lift this weekend and only put 4" blocks in the rear but you can tell the rear sits lower than the fron and I dont wanna stack and inch block on top or pay an extra $100 for an aal

click on the link in my signature and look throgh the pics of my truck, you will come across a picture of my rear blocks...3" stacked on 3".....been like that for years.....NEVER a problem yet........as far as i know the blocks are the same...get under a 2500 with a tape measure tho and check the width of the leafs.
