MikeHTally did they ride smoother? The pics you posted 285/70x17 sure looks good compared to my rough riding stock 20's

Ughh got the wheels ans tired today, got them mounted, went to put them on the truck myself..... stock lugs are WAY too big >.> I went to every auto parts store and they told me 9/16ths - 18 is the lug size I need and they have nothing other than special order.... I sure hope that's the right size because it looks like I have to order lugs and have my whole house smell like tires for a week.

Yep, 9/16 18 RH is correct. Every Dodge 1500 since 2002 been the same. Should be readily available. I've walked into Advance and picked up a set and I've seen sets of 16 & 20 in Walmart cheap, but they Chinese made crap.

They should work fine. I didn't have a problem with my stock ones being too big with my Mickey Thompson wheels but they were too short. Needed 2". Forget the dealer, they only have the stock size/length. Advance where I lived at the time in south Georgia had the perfect set I wanna say the brand was Gorilla...
