I just ordered some 305/65/18's which works out to be a 33.6" tire for mine. I was told that a 325/65/18 (34.8") will rub and also the tires will fit but they're recommended for a wider rim. I figured if I'm gonna dish out $1300 for tires I dont wanna have to worry about having tire problems.

i doubt those would rub mine with a 2.5" on a 4x4. Ill probably end up with something that works out to between 33 and 35, ill see when the time comes though. I want to find some fender flares too when i get some wider tires. Im thinking of putting some KC long range lights behing the grill.

Like the mirrors. Guess I've never seen or noticed them before, those are factory right?

I like those mirrors...Hmmm, not sure, its a nice truck, just looks...plain to me..I would say some running boards but if you plan on letting mother nature tearing off those front mud flaps im guessing running boards would not be a benefit to you...Maybe some fender trim, or even bushwackers if you go with a 33" tire...Just give the side some character...Looks to plain IMO...Need something to take the eyes off those big mirrors. Welcome though!
