Thanks. I think it rides smoother than it did with the factory 18s and 265/60s.

You guys are aware that the front wheel well bulge is larger than the rear....giving the impression that the front doesn't look as low as the rear when lowering these trucks right?
I measured it before and after install.

Ok thanks. Have you contacted Belltech about this yet? And your truck is 2wd correct?

texasbred, I wish I would have known you were looking for a set of 305/50/20 nittos. I have some terragrapplers on my truck with 28k, look brand new, still atleast 75% tread... would have cut you a nice deal. I want to drop down to 285/50/20s...

I just want a little smaller tire on mine, and a good bit more narrow being on a stock wheel.

I appreciate the thought but I'm running Nitto 420S. I actually picked up 3 almost brand new for $300. Just had to order one new one.

I hope they have improved the 420S. I bought some for a stock FX2 in 2014. After 5,000 miles they started making noise and by 7,000 miles they sounded like I had an aggressive mud tire. I rotated them at 4K. Discount Tire swapped them for me and I just had to pay the difference. I really like how they rode and handled though.

I thought about going. All the LS truck guys I used to run around with are pretty much out of the game. I did want to run my truck though to get a baseline before the first set of engine mods next week. I'll probably just stay home and be lazy though.

THIS is the reason I went with the Yokohamas. The sales guy at discount was REALLY pushing the 420s and seemed mad that I insisted on the Yoks. lol Ahhh the struggle is real!

Tires not on my truck yet but switched to Yoks on my Audi, Nissan, and wife's Mazda. Very nice, quiet tire.
