    tires werent junk, i think the spacers just fucked everything up. they balanced the tires in the am, and it shook worse than it did before they balanced them out. the spacers studs also kept blowing out my locking lugs heads... which sucked. the other thing that sucks is one of the tires needed to be replaced as it was badly warn on outside and they dont seem to make that tire in a 305/70/16 anymore.. so i still have the tires, but i think ill just end up selling them for a set of AT's 265/75/16's and be done. i went thru all this shit with my reg cab about tires not balancing and what a pain in the ass it is with these trucks, so its just frustrating, and i figured the spacers would be ok since alot of guys on here run them, but no tire shop around me would touch the truck with them on it. im pretty sure the spacers were the problem creating the shake.

    Bilstein 5100's at 2.5", Grey wire, Wheeler's 1.5 aal,
    Should get yourself a set of 285's they'll look better on your lifted truck and you shouldn't have to use spacers... for the cost of the spacers I think I would have gotten new wheels with 4 or 4.5 inch backspacing, I think your factory wheels are 5.5. Then you could keep your stock tires for snow tires or switching over and you wouldn't have to mount and dismount tires all the time... just sayin';)

    yea, i only paid 100 bucks for the spacers, and i sold them for what i paid for them, so i didnt lose any money there, i really liked the look of the 305's i just think i need an offset wheel to get them to work. i think the mickey thompson class II's size 16 x 10 could work, but ive also read some of them dont work on our trucks.
