The tires are 285/70/17 and love them, 2 years later and they still look good, loads of tread left and I haven't exactly taken it easy on em , little highway sound if any at all, but I don't hear much over my exhaust and music haha

Thats the same size I have been looking to go with on my Scab 4X4. I have my level kit in already, I just haven't bought the tires yet.

Your truck looks fantastic, making me jealous. Your truck gives me an idea of exactly what my truck will look like with that size tire.

An alignment is always necessary when u lift a vehicle. Some will tell u that it's not and what not. But if u don't want to spend alot of money in the end, get an alignment.

You should really consider the Bilstein kit too. Better lifting method using the preload which puts less stress on ball joints and prevents the steep angles on the ball joints you get with a spacer when arms are fully drooped. Plus you're getting higher performance shocks. Lots of guys run spacers fine but if you're looking for long term durability it's an easy choice.

Great photos of the kit. Really considering doing mine. I have the 285 BFG's on 18" rims. They are by far the best tires out there for all terrain. They grip awesome and ride nice and smooth. Not to mention quiet. I have the 10 ply. Never going to own anything else thats for sure!
