    they should fit fine as long as your lifted.

    Those tires are Cooper STT's right?

    I'm deciding between those or the Duractracs. How do you like them?

    I'm slightly hesitant to get the Coopers because I do a lot of driving on every terrain. I've heard they aren't the greatest in sand and I've heard mixed reviews about snow. Any input would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the pic btw. Nice looknig truck. :D

    they were great tires in the desert and on rainy roads, but they did chunk up... i switched to KM2s a couple years ago and like them much better than the STTs...

    in the rainy season i air down my tires to about 25psi on road and they grip quite well... i have heard that airing down on snowy roads has similar results...

    the kragen HID's are a pretty good light for the money you pay. i run 3 of them and their light out put is good. but the housings have a tendancy to crack and the light itself sometimes shakes alot causing your light beam to move. it's annoying
