    Had my truck since August 2012 but just started looking around to see what mods I can do. Yesterday, I had a 3 inch lift from Les Schwab installed and my stock 16 inch rims wrapped with Toyo Open Country M/T's sized 285/85/16r. Very much satisfied with the result with the only exception of a little rubbing on my front control arms. Probably now looking for 1.5" spacers before the tread wears down. On the first drive on the freeway going to work tonight, realized I wasn't used to the new handling of a lifted truck with big tires. Need to work on that since I've driven nothing buy lowered vehicles all my life. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

    Welcome from Wisconsin! When I first got my truck (already had the 3" lift and bigger tires) I felt like I was 10ft in the air, after having really only driven a '90 Volvo 240 wagon. But my truck hugged the roads around Half Moon Bay, Ca a LOT better than the '90. I guess my $.02 is just be careful on corners
