    To be honest with you, they suck. I fishtail all over the place. VSC and a light foot helps alot though. Their offroad performance outweighs the negatives for me though, it all depends on what your gonna use them for.

    I use my truck for both worlds; as a family car and we take it out on light trails. Just starting to get into off roading. I love the way the tire looks, but I need something safe when it rains. Not sure about BFG A/T. Was that what you were running before?

    You got one hell of a truck.

    Thanks. Yea it seems like maybe the A/Ts would be good for your application. I still hear alot of stories about the light rear of our trucks causing it to fishtail in the rain, but the sipping and quality of the BFG AT would definitely surpass that of the muds in those types of situations. I thought about sipping my muds but they would chunk too much so I figured I would just drive smart. Before these tires, I was running the stock Rugged Trails that came with the truck.

    Douche bag.

    Actually that is the case. LOL. I had speeding tickets before lifting my truck, now I just take it easy on road.

    Yea dude the leafs are amazing. Im astonished at how much of it difference it makes. I cant wait to get my spindles and soften the front. Thanks

    Thank you. Im short so it doesnt interfere with my legs which is cool but many others dont seem to be able to run that location

    I'm not short and I have mine on the left side of the tranny (not in reference to Manny) tunnel and I don't knock in to mine either. - Maybe I'm not wheeling? :confused: :)

    What kind of step stool do you you use and where do you store it! :D

    LOL. No step stool. I wash my own truck though and let me tell you, scrubbing the hood is a bitch. I gotta throw the towel at the center and drag it back to me. I tried standing on my sliders and slipped once and hit my shin on them.
