Thanks for the input guys. When I got the tires they didnt look nearly as agressive as they are. The tires they showed me were taller and so I thought it would be ok. I was really wanting to go with the Toyo open country MT's but they were $300 more and from what I have heard everyone that has these tires has loved them, and other than the really agressive look I cant say anything else bad about them. I have noticed that my mileage has gone down a little bit but it has gone from 20 to 18 so I cant say to much about that. I am already talking to a few body shops to see about getting the flares painted. I wonder if I can get a spacer to lift the front end up just a little bit more, in person when you see the truck you can see that the nose is still down pretty good. I may just say the heck with it and save up and get me a real lift instead of doing it half a$$.

Meh. I think you should paint the truck to match the flares.

I like the black flares. It makes the wheel wells look bigger, kinda like you've got a lift.

The wheels are American Racing wheels they are called Cannon's. The road noise is about as much as to be expected I mean come on I have exaust and a CAI so the noise from the tires is pretty much just at a high highway speed. The tires ran me $900 if I was going to get an good A/T tire for the 20's it would have been closer to $1300 so in the long run I will spend less money for tires.
