    IMO...they're gonna look good, and you got them at a great price.
    I'm trying to resist the urge to pull the trigger on tires I don't need right now...a local shop can get some 275/70/17 Cooper ST's for ~$780 OTD, with a free alignment to boot!

    OP - before you do the install can you do me a favor? Can you measure the length of the rear OME nitro shocks? Mine are already on the truck and I wanted a measurement of the shock fully closed.

    TIA

    Thanks. It should be a little shorter than 14" (13.85" to be exact)

    Not sure if this is the measurement you're lookin for, but straight out if the box, tip to tip it measures 18.5 inches

    thanks. aside from the two mounting ends, the actual shock measures out to be 14" just like the website says (in your pic, 3" to 17" is what I see).

    Thanks again for clarifying :cool:

    Done! :woot:

    [​IMG]

    The install wasn't bad at all. The ride is awesome! Surprisingly the truck doesn't pull at all when you let go of the wheel. It does feel a little top heavy with the small wheels but not a dangerous feeling. The truck sits higher than I thought it would. It feels solid now unlike the spongy ride it did with the factory suspension. You are going to love having this kit on your truck. This is without a doubt the best mod I have ever done to a vehicle.
