Looks awesome! I too have the same tires/size. I'm assuming with your aftermarket wheels you don't have any rubbing issues? I rub slightly on full lock, but nothing too major. I rotated them last weekend when I did my brakes/rotors, probably a little too early, haha. Not even 2k on'em yet, but oh well.

Rocket: I paid $750-770, shipped, from DiscountTire's Ebay store. I ended up finding them for a little cheaper, like $725, afterwards, but I thought that was a decent deal. Probably coulda pricematched here locally, but I'm quite the impatient type myself.

Edit: Just saw you last post 08, I didn't do the hazard warranty, like a dummy. But couldn't pull the extra coin knowing I had to do the mount/balance and alignment

Yeah, no rubbing at all. 2" level and 17x9 Cragars with the same backspacing as stock....what is that? maybe 4"?? Anyways, no rubbing.....

I thought about the road hazard. When I did my wife's Michelins we got it, and we had to have a tire replaced already due to an unrepairable sidewall leak. So, it pretty much paid for itself on that one.

IIRC, you're 4wd, right? I just dont understand why I'm rubbing and you, and other folks, aren't. The level didn't have anything to do with it for me, as I'm rubbing on the control arm/spring bucket/thingamajig. () Just kinda confuses me.

Either way, the truck looks even better now!

So, for the four tires 295/70s, the road hazard warranty stuff, etc. it came out to $965. That also includes lifetime rotation and balancing. Not too bad I guess.
Very nice I'm gonna look them up thanks. Oh and so are your new footprints.
