They had to order 275/70R18 Nitto Trail Grapplers instead (295's is what I had ordered). Time to start saving up for a suspension lift.
What wheels are you running?

Keep in mind that these Trail Grapplers have a pretty aggressive tread. I am planning on changing out the shocks soon so maybe that will clear up the issue. I don't know what else to say other than I know what I saw and did what I had to do. The truck stills looks good to me with the smaller tires on it. Maybe these trucks are like jeans no two are the same.
