Here's quite a few of mine. General Grabber UHP 275-55-17's all the way around. 2" rear shackles. I kinda want to drop it a little more, but almost really like the stance. I kinda want to go with more of the old school muscle car look, so I am thinking of adding 1" or 1.5" coils up front and then adding a set of 285-60-17's in the rear for a little raked look. Hopefully this would get it looking a little more like Trever1T's truck. I really like the stance of his truck, I'm just not sure if staggering the tire size like that is a good idea. I know 01Thunder has been running a staggered tire for years with no problem.

Yeah, they hook pretty decent. They work especially well on wet roads.
