I'll probably move to a slightly bigger/aggressive tire when these start wearing a bit more. I have not found a wheel I like at all - the current trend of black spiky wheels would look really dumb on a chromed out truck I think. Either way as I told my buddy - a couple hundo for a level is a much easier decision than a grand for tires and another grand for wheels (just guessing, haven't bought aftermarket wheels in over a decade).

Looks like we have the same tires - the Fortitudes? I thought they handled great in the snow. We were in Tahoe for Christmas and they were very surefooted in lots of fresh snow in sub zero temps. For stockers anyway.

We do have the same rubber. I'm guessing they aren't bad for all season tires, but as compared to all-terrains, they don't compare well. I just want a little more from mine. At least that's one of my bargaining chips when I try to convince my wife we need to spend $3000 on new tread

1.5 AS spacer with stock wheels and tires.
This is after a month to show how it did settle a bit in the front. The extra rake is nice when towing.

It was very easy. But that also depends on your mechanical abilities. Here are a few pics taken during the process to give an idea.
Strut removal to add the spacer. Be careful not to extend the axle or tear the CV boot.
Half done
Stock stance
Not a bad mess to clean up.
