Default New Wheels/Tires

Finally tossed my 33" Nitto Mud Grapplers on 18" Machined 951 Moto Metals on my lady the other night. She looks damn fine, and hums a sweet Nitto tune while whipping down the country roads and cruising the highway, hahaha. She also gets her 3" level, and 2" AAL within a week.

A little more height, hence the 2" AAL's too. I know it's rough on the truck, but hopefully not too much.

But I've always wondered how much harder a 3 is than a 2.5 inch? Can't be that much different, but people say it is. Do u haul or tow a lot? Just curious as u are doing aal rather than blocks.

Exactly! The extra .5 can't be too awful, I've heard some stories though.
I was going to do blocks initially, but my buddy has some AAL's for me. I don't know for certain which I'm going with yet.
And yes, I tow/haul frequently. I'm a carpenter, so this is my work truck.

Makes sense then. Have heard they do stiffen the ride up a bit, so if u won't be putting them to use, the blocks seem more practical, but sounds like u will be using them. Good to see somebody has their sh*t figured out. Seems like a lot of people don't know the differences on what is better for what purposes.
