Finally re-building after last truck was totaled

Back story - I got a 2019 DCSB OR in November of 2018 and had it all set up for a trip to Moab (Elephant Hill, Beef Basin) and about 2 months after I had the truck set-up how I wanted, it was totaled by a guy who ran a stoplight. I ended up taking a bit of a hit on the suspension components with insurance and now i'm finally ready to get my replacement truck modded back to where I want it.

Here's the difference - This truck is a 2019 DCSB OR in MT with the premium and tech package. I was able to keep my SOS sliders, BAMF front skid and BAMF bed rack. I changed out the grill for an OEM pro grill and here is the plan for the suspension (not much different than what I had):
6112/5160 bilstein
Dakar medium leaf pack - I had Icon AAL on the first go-round
SPC UCAs - I had JBAs the first time around
Wheels - I would like to go with the Fuel Vectors again


The one thing I can't decide on is the tires. I am thinking of going with the Falken Wildpeak at 275/70/17 or "pizza cutters" at 255/80/17. I can't really decide and would like to avoid having to do any more than some dremelling and heat gun mods to start with. Either way, suspension components should be in within 2 weeks and I should have this all installed by mid-March, can't wait!

 

I'm a big advocate for pizza cutters. My 235/85s did elephant hill "just fine" and I got better mpgs on the trip down there.

 

Hate to hear about the last truck. Looks like a good build plan. I've been really, really happy with my Wildpeaks. I think you can get away with 275/70/17 for a while anyway. I suppose it depends on when you'd be alright with more substantial work on the truck.

 

On my last setup I had the Wildpeak 275/70/17s and they fit and didn’t run a ton. Fully stuffed they rubbed but that was on Elephant Hill in Canyonlands and not on everyday stuff.

I’m really leaning towards the pizza cutters. I guess I have to do a little more research to understand the pros and cons
