Default New level/lift and tires...finally!

I bough my 2010 XLT brand new over a year an a half ago. 43,000 miles and a bald set of tires later...I FINALLY installed new tires and a 2.5" BDS level kit on the front with an add-a-leaf in the rear (lifting it about 2") and 285/70/18 Toyo Open Country M/T's. I Loved my truck before. Now I am IN LOVE with my truck. Wish I had done it sooner! I need to thank this forum for providing me with lots of good info when I was deciding what products to go with!
A couple pics, excuse the dirt. January in Maine + dirt roads = impossible to keep a black truck looking it's best!

Thanks guys! I had planned on bigger tires, but I put on a lot of miles, so this size seemed like the more responsible choice

Thank you! I'm actually a photographer so I appreciate the compliment! I'll have better (clean) ones on a day I have time to wash it. I just couldn't wait...I was too excited!

I thought the 43,000 was pretty good on a set! Maybe the type of tire? I have no idea. Sounds like you need to do something to wear yours down enough to justify getting the new ones
