    Lent my truck to my gf while her car's in the shop. Two days later, I'm mowing the lawn and I see the situation shown in the attached picture.

    Thankfully, the stock Rugged Trails now have just under 30k miles on them and I've been itching to switch them up. As a side note, I've never had any trouble with the RT's...they do break free a bit easily in the rain but since my other car is a 400+ hp rear-driver on summer-only tires, it's nothing I'm not used to.

    So, after some careful research, I ordered up front 5100s, Eibach springs, rear Toytec 2" AAL, Spidertrax 1.25" spacers, and 265/75r16 Duratracs. Got a smoking deal on the tires--$670 OTD from 4WheelParts, taking into account a $60 rebate from Goodyear.

    Anyway, can't wait to get everything on. Will definitely post pics when finished. Planning to set the 5100s at .85, so I'm expecting about 2.5" in the front, 2" in the rear, and an aggressive (thanks to the spacers) level stance.

    Hah! I'll go with that. Not 100%...no foreign bodies present but there appeared to be a puncture through one of the tread blocks in the center of the tire. Wasn't too concerned about trying to plug it because the RT's were worn almost to the wear bars and I was looking for an excuse to replace.

    And they're on. $720 OTD shipped from Discount Tire Direct, minus a $60 rebate. 4WheelParts had the price, but they were 90 days back ordered. DTD price matched.
