Default 285/65r20 on stock ram

Hi guys, thanks for all the info on this site, I finally decided to pull the pin and get the 285/65r20 BFG TA for my 2005 ram 1500 with stock suspension. I had cranked the t bars a couple times. I almost s*&t my pants when i saw the truck, it looks amazing and doesnt rub at all. Ill put some pics up soon.

Does the ride feel any less rigid, sports car like? Im looking into a larger tire to try and get rid of the low profile rigidity.

looks good i have the 285/65/R20 on my truck and i haven't touched the torsion bars at all. the only problem i had was the mud flap rubbing but a couple tap screws fixed that pretty easy.
