    I personally like the BFG's a lot more, (I've never taken them into the sand though), they look more aggressive and handle the mud and dirt much better than the Nitto TGs. The Nittos did very well in the sand but I had to air down to like 8-10 psi.

    On the street, I didn't notice a difference other than the BFG are bit louder.

    Hey Solus,
    Truck looks great! I am looking to do something very similar. Any rubbing? What backspace did you use with the rims to run your 285's? Any other wheel-well mods (other than mud flap removal)?

    I had a 2004 with 285/75R16 BFG MT, but just traded in today for a stock 2010 DC LB & I need to get things lifted... Planning on using BFG AT's & looking for some help finding a package that works.

    Thanks!

    Wow really nice looking truck.
    With your suspension, do you experience any harsh ride or bottom out whenever you go over a bump or big bump. I current ride is a 3"lift spacer and I experience bottom out whenever I go over a speed bump fast.

    Thank you for taking your time to answer me.
