For the ones with the lifts, do you tow much? I thought about getting a lift, but decided against it because I wasn't sure if it would cause problems towing my travel trailer and a 5th wheel (when I get one). Could a lifted truck still tow a 5th wheel easily?

Wow!.. thanks for all the great response and pictures, I think it solidified my decision to go with the toyo 37's...


Now what abou the backspacing on the wheels. I think a 9" wide wheel with a 5"-5.5" backspacing would be ideal, but I haven't had too much luck finding one. I want to stay with a 17" wheel (not for the $$, but because I like the idea of having more tire than wheel), so i was thinking somethinglike this...



it is a 17x9 with a 5" backspacing, do ya'll think I will haveany issues here? I guess I would rather it rub the control arms than the body, cause I can just turn less sharp to fix the problem .

I like the enduro's, very plain and simple matte black.

Here are the pics.. they suck but I literally just ran out in the driveway and snapped the pics.


Here is a side shot of my baby

Here is the rear end

Here is the front, you can see the drop track bar bracket (drilled one hole), the drop pitman arm, and you can see the two bolts on the frome where the drop swaybar brackets go (but I don't think I am going to put it back on, I will remove the end links though).

Another shot of the front

Here is a shot, so ya'll can see what kit I bought.

For the people who have responded that have a 6" and 37's.... where do they rub on your truck, control arms or the body?
