You want loud, put on a set of firestone destination mts lol. But, I don't mind. I used to run bias ply super swampers on my daily driver Jeep. You could hear it for miles.....literally.

Picked it up today and its a whole new truck.
Its way higher, slightly stiffer, a little bit nosier but absolutely 100% better.
I am stoked!!!
No more pizza cuttin street skinnys.
Ok, the 2.5 + 3 AS level rear will give the truck a slightly raked look. Not crazy but its not as level as it once was with just the 1.5 AS previous setup.
The tailgate is waaay higher.
The 305x55x20 MTZ tires do not rub in anyway.
They clear the upper control arm by about 1/4inch.
Close but still fine as I cant see them ever coming into contact.
These tires do make slight noise, not bad or annoying but slightly noticeable.
I turned the radio up slightly and they were no longer noticeable.
The truck does ride slightly stiffer under normal driving, as I can feel the road a little more, however rail road tracks and other big bumps feel no different.
I notice no substantial impact on power drop. None.
Overall I am very happy with everything, actually im extremely happy!
I didn't buy a mud terrien tire to complain, and now when I look at the truck I find it hard to believe anyone could.
Im not sure about the mileage drop, the combined height and rolling mass should be fairly noticeable, time will tell. Who cares, its a truck not a moped.
Oh and the plasti dip did peel slightly on the edges from the tire machine like I figured it would. No big deal. I will re dip next week.
Crappy day in Kansas to take pictures but heres some for now!
Plenty more to follow when the sun comes back out.

Only complaints I can say I have is they seem to be slightly louder than I prefer and lot stiffer versus the Toyo MT or Nitto Trail Grappler. Otherwise, I have no complaints and look very tough on a set of stock 20's
