    Tires and wheels look great!!

    Suprised that you still have your front mud flaps on with that set up!

    Suspension upgrade is just front Bilsteins at1.75? Any rubbing?

    Nice wheels!!! I say that because I have the same set sitting in my living room. Trying to decide whether to paint them SWB or keep them red. Also trying to decide which tires to get. Nice set-up

    Thanks guys...

    The flaps (front and rear) are actually Husky mudflaps and the clearance is amazing. My tires don't even come close to them and they DON'T slap around like the factory ones either.

    One that note...


    The second delivery arrived!

    Thanks and that is EXACTLY what I said after I purchased the Dick Cepek Torque wheels back in 2011... but I sold those today to help cushion the Jester/Duratrac move!

    The 5100's are night and day next to spacers (if that is what you are wondering) as for the tire ride, I was running E load Scorpions prior and it feels like an entirely new truck after switching to C load. The road noise is a tad higher but in no way loud or an issue.

    Overall I could not be more pleased with the ride, noise level, look and feel of everything.

    Prior to making the purchase (wheel/tire) I spent weeks online and at shops talking with everyone about an aggressive all purpose tire that would fit my needs. Each any every time the Duratrac came out on top except in the price category until I went to Amazon... I had 4, 265/70/17 C load tires shipped (2 day) to my house for $925.

    I will give a better update on ride and handling after my trip up north in a few weeks. I am certain a few thousand miles will give me a really good indication on all sorts of questions.
