What kind of miles are you getting out of the Terra's? Those are also a choice for a tire for me.

i just put the tires on mid December. they are wearing down alright i guess. i can def notice i have lost "some" tread with 7K miles on them so far. i think i will get about 40k out of them. as long i as i get more then 25k out of tires i am happy. if i really cared i would get the Michelin with 80k mile warranty or drive my other truck as a commuter for work.

the Terras are smooth riding tires. i have put them to work at the deer lease and i made it out every time. i am starting to hear them more and more as they wear down, but the highway i travel makes all tires sing. next set will be Toyo 35's most likely with a 6" lift.

Living and working in the DC area, I need my truck to be able to fit into the vast majority of parking garages, which seem to average around 6'5 of clearance. I opted for a 2 1/2 leveling kit and installed it myself, for a total cost of $150.

Get the trail grapplers. They look meaner and they are not that loud. I don't even hardly notice mine, except for when I'm walking up to my truck and think "damn those tires are bad ***". LOL. I'm sure they don't wear out that much faster than the terras. Even if they do, the look and performance of them is worth it to me.

Yeah i am pretty sure id hold off for Trail Grapplers. They look too good. I am not worried about road noise at all. I am young single and love vehicles so nothing will deter me from what i like.

Is $2200 4" or $2390 6" installed a pretty good price for BDS? We have one shop locally that is BDS installation center to offer the lifetime warranty. Just wondering if this is a good price or not.

Thanks!
