What tires did you go with?

i got the tires mounted and balanced on my new rims. the tires are super meaty i love them. they have soo much thread. the thread is 20/32" deep from what i've read online.

i only got two for now. in a few weeks i'll get the other two, put my 2.5" front leveling kit on, and put my 2"-3" add a leaf on and i'll have a nice looking truck!!

Don't use 4wd while you have different size tires front and back..... that tends to break stuff.

Nice tires though.
