    I need LIFT first. Besides my Airbags, I'm still stock suspension with 32's! XD Rockstars 20"

    I cant believe how hard it is to find 20" OFF ROAD Tires at a reasonable price! 180/per in 16"/ 17" vs 390/per 20" :jawdrop:

    This is before My bullBar. Hopefully will Update PICS today.

    Actually, might go to "the mall" once every 2-3 months. It was a quick SHOP for my build page, that is all.

    The pic was actually taken in the parking lot of my town house.

    But for sure, as you can tell by my STREET tires on it, Pirelli ATR's, I don't take her off road without the proper shoes.

    Actually selling my Terra Grapplers, trying to get some Dick Cepek Mud Country's in 33" or 35" ->

    I normally keep 2 sets of tires. One for Street and trips, another for off road. No sense in destroying my MPG over wanting to keep Off Road tires on it. Saves money.

    I plan most of my off road trips and know I need to gear up for them, it includes a trip to my buddies shop for a tire swap and a checkup. Does it for a 12 pack, so i cant complain.

    I know! Never understood that. Last info I got from a Tire manufacturer was the sidewalls were stronger and there was a redesign of the tires due to there being less of them, since they are a less common size, the cost was foreword'd on to the consumer from the R&D. SUCKS!

    Most of the New 2013 FORDS actually have 20"ers on em now.

    Yeah if they sell less of them they have to price them higher to get their r&d money back that's all it is but with the increase in stock 20s we should eventually see the prices go down......on street tires.....doesn't mean they are going to put on m/ts on stock trucks

    Your right.

    Check this out. http://frederick.craigslist.org/pts/3540811478.html

    I have no clue how much tread is on them to begin with, but 1/4" tread?... I know I cant squeeze the 13.5" wide in my stock suspension.

    I have kept an eye on your truck for some time. (Build)

    I'm curious now what my buddy can snag the tires I want for through his shop.
