    Well you are absolutely right! It sits about 1-1/2" higher in the front! But my plate bumper from Relentless (that is to arrive next month) should fix that! ;)

    The 35s will definitely put the engine under a lot more stress! But that's why I re-geared to 4:88s! It got back lots of power (not as good as stock, but dang close), and I can still drive down the freeway without being redlined! My truck is my daily driver, so yes it does a lot of road driving, which is why I went with a practical tire rather than a howling M/T! ;) And for the trail system we have around where I live, and also snow traction, the BFG A/Ts are the most wanted tire for those conditions! No offense taken, I would rather have the KM2 on my truck, but I found a sweet deal for the A/Ts and I couldn't be happier with overall performance (especially on snow)!
