What size tire are you looking at running. If you looking at a 35" tire go with 20s, 33" tire go with the 18s. Lift will also determine what size tire you can run. With the offroad look I like a bigger sidewall

I was thinking of just going with 33" tires. Thanks for the input

When you change out a bumper like that does it not affect the air bag system? Isn't the sensor attached to the stock bumper.

I don't believe so. I checked out my stock bumper and didn't see where they would have gone. And I would think that if the sensors had been tampered with in any way that there be a warning about it but I haven't had any warning

I don't think the sensors are in the bumper, nor do they work off of impact. I think they detect sudden deceleration. In other words, imagine a huge chain hooked to your rear axle.. you speed up to 70mph, then the chain runs out.. the airbags still go off. But I could be wrong..

Also I'd think that the company installing it would have you sign a waver saying that if the air bags don't go off that they couldn't be responsible for it
