That has got to be the most perfect stance for the 2nd gen truck. It should be on a poster somewhere. ... Excellent job!

How's the performance? I'm worried about putting 285s on 3:55 gears.

In order to eliminated "that rub", I'd have to have some rub first.
Nothing rubs.

Thank you.
As for performance, the new shoes dropped my engine speed at freeway speeds by about 400 RPM or so. Once you get up to cruising speed, it works fine. Acceleration has been hurt, but not to the point where the truck is unusable. I don't try to race people in the truck anyways, but you need to put your right foot down a little more when merging with traffic.

I also haven't used up a full tank of gas yet, so I can't really comment on the result it has on milage.
