    Got the tires done today. Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 275/70/18. Pictures don't do these justice, they look much better in person. Wavered between these and the Ridge Grapplers but ultimately these won out. Price, reviews, better wet traction, and the winter rating won out over the Nittos. I do like the look of the Nittos over the Wildpeak, but ultimately it wasn't worth the extra $300 to me.

    I'll have to look at measurements when I get home, but the front gained 2 inches, tires added a 1/2". I did not lift the rear so it would be just the lift from the tires. I'd say it rides composed, sometimes kinda stiff. Haven't got to take it off road yet. I like how it rides tho, handles real nice.

    It's been awhile since I updated this. Added tow mirrors in July. February I broke down and got Ray 10's in dark bronze. They are a beautiful wheel in person, pics really don't do them justice. I also love the stance, the offset is perfect in my opinion.

    Yep I need to see more pictures. And couple of questions:

    How much did the tow mirrors cost? If you don’t mind me asking...

    And how do you hook them up for the blinkers to work if your factory mirrors weren’t wired for it?

    Is the truck just leveled? Did you fit those wildpeaks in with the mid flaps with no rubbing?

    Great work!!

    I think the tow mirrors were around $350 if I remember right. The factory plug is set up for it, so just plug them in and they magically work, no extra steps. The truck is level. I left the Kings at the factory settings as suggested by Ben at Filthy Motorsports. I may crank them up and lift the back some point in the future but not messing with it for now. The Wildpeaks I had to take off the little mud flaps on the front, and I heated the splash guards up and pushed them forward just enough. It barely rubbed in full lock reverse, but enough that it was worth fixing. Also that was because the offset is +25 on the wheels, I don't think it rubbed with stock wheels.

    Nice! Mirrors are easy so that’s cool. I like the stock wheels, and I’ve had my eye on those wildpeaks for a while!

    Thanks for the info.

    Plasti Dip, Overlays, or new black ones? Came out great either way. Have a cement as well and am planning to black out badges. Just matches the truck better.

    It is Plastidip, holding up well after one year.
