Looks like you are leveled. I really like my 325/60 terra grapplers. A mud tire would also look good on your truck, probably trail grapplers.

Thanks. I am going with a full replacement bumper on the front. Just have to find the right one.

Are you looking for a full steel bumper or a tube-style pre-runner bumper?

I love my plate the wife not so much. I want to go full steel replacement. Need something that can handle an animal and save my front end.

I believe your best bet for the full steel bumper is going to be either Iron Cross which I believe is right around$1,000 or Boondock Bumpers (which is the one I have) for $850.

Here's my 04 FX4 with a steel bumper from Boondock.

I know they're pretty plain as far as looks go but I went with the BFG All Terrains and will never buy a different tire again. They're probably the best modification I've made. If your in mud a lot though look at the BFG Mud Terrains. I've heard they are equally as durable and well made as the AT's but obviously much better in the messy stuff.

I run 325/65/18 nitto terra grapplers on my truck. They're quiet on the highway and grip surprisingly well off road. My experience with the bfg all terrains wasnt the best. They don't clean out well enough for me and the pattern isn't open enough. The terra grappler is a more aggressive, but you can still get 60k miles on them. Just my opinion though.

I loved those bfg's, but they don't make them like they used to. They used to wear like steel. Now they are out of round, causing them to be a real bitch to balance. They also don't last now, and with the price of them, it's just not worth it imo.

I love my Toyo at2's. They ride pretty well and run great through the mud and snow. They are a bit spendy though.
