I'm a fan of the mickey thompson classic's and the dick cepeks dc-1's but you can't buy them new any more. But the dc2's look sweet.

And your gonna hate 35 and 3.55 gears. I hated my 33 and 3.55 gears. OD didn't kick in till 55 mph and passing and pulling a loaded trailer was a freaking joke!

Yeah, 35" tires with 3.55 gears would be a dog unless you have CTD torque on your side. The truck would have trouble staying in overdrive at 60mph if you hit even the smallest incline. Every time you hit an incline the truck would just start slowing down and if you push the pedal in until it is just about to kick out of overdrive the truck would just keep slowing down until you push it in enough to kick out of overdrive.

i think 20s with 35 look great, as far as a lift my bros 01 has only a 2'' level kit and he has 315s which are more or less 35s anyway, with 3.55 gears and yes he drives with od OFF
