Austin,

Thanks for the update. I was curious on how they had been holding up.

My 295's ares till doing great and have sone a little off-roading and they never rubbed or given me any problems at all.
Yes I did crank the torsion bars up, but I did that because I wanted the truck to sit leval.
I also had it re-aligned and I have no rubbing and it drives perfectly strait down the road.

Very nice. I'm having my Ford keys installed this week hopefully so I will be in the market for some wheels next week

Your at 33.59" tall now, what was the stock tire size with the 17" rim?
Do you notice a decrease in rpm on the freeway or any slower off the line performance?

31.5 If I remember correctly.

If there is any loss of performance, I haven't noticed it at all.

I put mine on the day I bought the truck so I don't have any comparison.

I did have to change the tire size with HP tuners in the PCM to get the Speedometer correct.
