    I ended up with Toyo Open Country AT2 tires. Got free shipping from treaddepot.com that sealed the deal. Originally had my heart set on Cooper ST Maxx.

    9 shares of VTI for your Roth IRA. Haha just kidding, lift and or tires are the biggest look improvement things you can do to your truck. Or a plate bumper.

    Would it look better to get wheels/sliders or tires/sliders?

    You have stock wheels now? My vote - tires/sliders. Just my opinion though.

    agree. Tires can make a great difference. I've seen some regular cab guys running a slightly larger AT tire on stock steel rims and it looked killer.

    Yep I have stock sport wheels and Michelin ms2 tires. I am also leaning towards sliders and tires

    Look for a good deal or someone parting out. I got 265/75/16s BFG KO2s on 16x8 MB 352s + 5100s and Eibach springs and the suspension install for $900 + my stock wheels/tires. Golden.

    My little transformation, lift was worth it! Some things where over $1000 though. My 2nd set of wheels where the Ultra Badlands and they completely changed the truck.
