Thanks for the tips guys. I have to say, the General Grabber UHP's do look sharp! I currently have Goodyears on my truck now and if they are the original tires, they didnt last for squat! Not to mention the ride is horrid and they break loose at the slightest drop of water. Looking at the ratings on those Generals and the price, that seems right up my alley. Sorry Jimmy, not really looking for a used set. Also I am going to stick with the 20's, they look too sharp to replace with 17's.

Hey Helopilot, if I go with the 295's, will that cause any type of rubbing from being too wide? I dont have a lift or anything, just rolling stock.
You can go up to 305/50/20's without any problems.

What would be the highest ride with stock suspension? I see those Nitto 305/55/20 and they look nice, what about a little higher, like a 60 or 65?

Well after much research and checking specs out, I decided to take Helopilots advice and go with the Generals! I have to admit, its a pretty sweet tire! Next on the list is going to be a tonneau cover and then tint the front windows to match the back followed eventually by a new exhaust.

Yep and thanks! The handling is amazing over what I had. The reviews on this tire were really good as well.
