    Thanks! When I picked the truck up yesterday I was like F*** what did I do!

    After looking at the tires more and driving it and such, I am still on the fence on keeping them, but they are starting to grow on me..

    Wow , looks cool dude .

    Your 3rd pic makes me think that the tire is destined to hit the fender under any flex though . Have you tried flexing it yet ?

    I read over and over again the website where the 1st gen runs the BFG and a lot of reviews by others and finally got the balls to get them lol

    I do plan on regearing. unfortunately I wont have the funds until December which is fine because I cannot decide between 4.56 or 4.88..

    I personally have not flexed them. I asked the alignment shop I went to flexed to make sure they will not rub the frame. They checked and said it was close but I should be ok. I will have to trim that plastic crap off the front which is fine with me because after wheeling on time I broke the clips and the right side is just dangling there now.

    the 4.56 with my 2.7 transmission and a .81 overdrive will put me at 100 rpm higher at 65mph than stock 4.10 gears with the 245/75/16 so I think you should be great!
