I'm 5'5" barefoot...so in the pic I was probably just 5'6" or 5'7" with the shoes I was wearing. Just with this tire/lift combo it is a noticeable difference getting in and out.
I wouldn't worry if I were you, I'm a short @$$ and managed to get in and out (with some grunts and groans) of an 87 Chevy mud truck I had with 11" of lift and 44" tires. You'll be fine

Thanks for posting, now I know exactly what my truck will look like when I get around to doing the lift / and level to it! Same tire size and everything (well ... mines a long bed but..). I also live in Maine and as Bill Clinton would say "feel your pain" about trying to keep it clean ...

Awesome! I can't complain, I'm loving this warm/snow-less winter we are having! What part of the state are you in? If you haven't bought your tires yet, I got mine at Town Fair in Augusta. They are awesome to deal with, and they will match any price you can find...even online!

I am in Eastern Maine near Bar Harbor. I might go with a Nitto Tire though Ill have to check to see if they have them at Town Fair. I go to Augusta and Bangor often so it will be no problem to find 'em Im sure. I hate this snowless junk lol. I like to snowmobile ... alot But it will come Im sure. I have a bunch of free time in the winter and thats how I usually spend it so I am going a little stir crazy. Thanks for the info!

Do you have any side shots of your truck? I'm trying to decide between the 275/70/18 nitro trail grappler and the 285/70/18 Toyo mt. I had the Toyo in a 37" on my F250 and loved them.

Looks great. I just leveled my '09 and put 35s an haven't gotten off the pavement. I'm begging for a dirt road to pop up on me.

I have a friend with the Nittos on her truck and she doesn't like them (looks or performance) as much as she had hoped. Our trucks parked side by side, we both like my tires better.
You got your wish for winter today! Brr! I have a snowmobile, but I also have a farm and winter makes life difficult so I am loving the nice weather we have had!
