    They are amazing. Great on road, and from my only experience with them off road, they are great. They air down extremely well.
    Not true. They will fit if you're willing to trim out some plastic in the wheel well.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.

    33's on stock height? Cool.

    How much is "some"? :eek:

    Because they are so skinny, there are WAY less problems with rubbing. If you have a 1st gen, the site I linked to a few posts back will tell you everything you need to trim.

    I did a deal with the devil and got mine for $185 each from 4wheelparts after their $60 rebate for buying 4 at a time. They delivered free to the closest location. I had my brother install them at my shop, but you could take them to Discount Tire to have them installed and still get their warranty. I would highly recommend having it done at Discount instead of 4WheelParts. Definitely don't buy the warranty from 4WheelParts. It sucks.

    I don't have any of those stores in my area. I go to my trusted local yokel shop. I have a first gen but it's a Tundy. I love the 255/85 tire.

    Indeed, but you will have to trim alot of plastic inside the wheel well.

    and with the 2.5 level the amount of trimming should go down a bit? Any articles/threads/pics on this? I'm finding very little info on the good ol' 255s. I'm assuming rears are GTG?

    To be honest, I didn't have to trim at all with my 255/85/16 KM2's. When they did my alignment, I had them set the caster forward just a touch. I can still run my mudflaps, but just barely. In the rear, on the passenger side at full stuff the tire "nibbles" on the front of my fender flare. This could be from my wreck I had last fall, though.

    Here is a pic of the front stuffed, notice how close it is.

    Hell yeah man, that's exactly what we needed. What kind of lift do you have up front.

    I am running OME 885 springs( the older style that lift a bit more) on Bilstein 5100 struts set at stock height. I removed the sway bar as well.

    Rear has an AAL, but is sagged horribly, to the point it is actually below stock levels.

    Not too much, nobody can figure out why my truck sags like that. The toolbox weighs maybe 100 lbs. I can easily pick it up and take it off the truck by myself. I do haul a 4wheeler sometimes, but I take the toolbox out when I do that. Even then, the 4wheeler only weighs in at 400-450 lbs tops.

    I'm going to OME Dakars sometime soon. Also, I am picking some Bilstein 7100 remote resi shocks on Sunday. Rebuilding and refinishing them too. They are the 10" travel version so they should work well.
