Default stock 20 inch wheel to 35 inch tire compare

was borred so i took a few pix of a stock 275 60 20 to a nitto trailgrappler 35 12.5 20. cams a lil blurry and the angles are a lil off. when the truck delivered the 35s i was like holy sh.t these things look huge, but when i put it next to the stock it wasnt that huge of a diffirence. the weight of two if a lot more concerning. the nitto with fuel hostage is heavy. for instance i carried the stock 20 up 3 flights. i couldnt even carry the nitto/hostage at all. maybe im just a *****. also these were 20x10 fuels with -24 offset has a 4.5 backspace anyways hears some pix.. i got the wheels/tires mounted and balanced with tpms shipped from steves tire corp. he gave me a better price then rimzone westkycustoms and a few other vendors. shipping took 6 days from chicago to nj. they called me the day before delivery. lucky my gf was home to accept delivery. left them on a skin out front till i got home and got them upstairs. only thing about the hostages i dont like is the fake bolts. going to pop them off and spray them

decent lip size. next step is to save for

bds 6 inch lift with fox rear shock blocks and stabalizer not interested in the ladder bars. ive read the 4 inch kit is nearly the same height but for the 100 buck diffrence ill just get the 6. not enough pix online to make me bite on the 4 inch kit. if it was like 500 in diffreince i might do it.
bilstein front shocks/strut( i figure at 60k might as well replace them too)
new cv axles ( ive read these things may deteriertate quickly so again at 60k i might as well get new ones in with the kit when the trucks all apart)
and definatly replace the brakes as they are kinda soft now. prolly get those raybestos non directional performance ones from rockauto. hoping to do all this buy febuary. i live in nj and prices to install kit range from 800( freinds shop ) to 1300 (ok4wd)

Well you have to remember the stock tires are 33" already so it's only a 2" difference or 1" on both sides really so there isn't a big difference to begin with but 20s are always gonna be heavy
