Beautiful truck, congrats! I'm going back and forth between getting the Toyo ATIIs or M/Ts... Do you have any side pics of your rig?

Well I got home from work yesterday and got the sct tuner plugged up to the platty. I just loaded in the 87 tune. What a difference. Tomorrow I'll swap it to the 93 tune(since that's all I have ever run in the truck anyways). I am very pleased with the "canned" tunes from sct. I will also be installing the bilsteins in the am too. Gonna try em at the 1.5" setting for a little extra lift. I'll post pics when we are done

Here is a side picture. Haven't had. Good pic recently. Had the MT a on my old truck they are badass tires. I went with the At2 just cause the majority of my driving is on pavement. I just put 500 miles of snow driving on them Nd never broke traction. The MT s were pretty click in the snow.

Yeah if I could do it again I would go with the 6.2 but at the time I needed the gas mileage so ecoboost it was lol

Finally finished with the bilsteins. What a difference. The factory shocks definitely aren't rated for 35" tires. Truck rides nice and smooth again. Love em! Gonna let em settle this week, then order AAL for the rear.
