    Looks nice, are the tires new? Or have you had them a while?

    Keep an eye on them, and watch for balance issues. The tread etc is the same as a KO2 which is known for balancing issues, and they never stay balanced. Bought a set of 5 a few months ago, and in the first month they needed to be rebalanced 4 times. I stood and watched as they did them and in a few days, vibes start coming back.

    Looks good - I absolutely love these trucks with a slight lift on them.

    My son has them on his Ranger and no issues so far. I will keep an eye on them. Thanks for the heads up.

    I have the same tires as OP except in a 275/70/17 - haven't had to rebalance yet after ~10k mi - knock-on-wood. Great looking setup @tt4617 !

    Suspension Specialties. Just a puck and block but works for what I want so far. Drives and rides pretty much the same as stock, which is what I had hoped for. I dont off road it. I use it for hunting a d drive some muddy roads in that context and have some pretty decent snow to deal with in the winter but that is about as rough as it will get for this truck.

    I ran three different sets, all were different sizes. Usually lasted around 30-35k miles. I had them balanced when they were mounted and that was it. Wore perfectly as well, only issue was a seemingly large loss in traction about 60-70% through their tread life. I have Geolander G003’s now and so far I love them.

    A lot of people dog on spacer lifts, I’ve had mine for the majority of my trucks life and over 100k miles with no issues. I however did not install replacement rear shocks and I think they are finally starting to croak due to the lift.
