I agree..those are the Nitto 404 285/50/18's...i had a set of them, loved them, then looked for a new set and couldnt find then NOWHERE in the same size. I was told they stopped making them in this size as well.

285/50 is a popular size, silverdenali22, 53RUSSELL, are running them, and i beleive BIGKID and txsilverado have used them.
I plan on the same setup, 255/55 up front and 285/50 out back

I like the look of you truck 98brightteal. I think the 30.5" tall tire just looks good. You planning to drop it anymore when you go to the 255/55 & 285/55's? I'd love to see pics of your truck when you do the switch.

Since i couldnt find any of the Nitto 404's i ended going to a continental crosscontact tire in the same 285/50/18 size cause i couldnt hardly find any other tire in this size....these tires have been so so i guess but i really wish i had the 404's back....what other tires come in this size?

LoweredZ71 I'd absolutely love to see pics of your setup when you get it dropped all the way! I wanna see how the tires are going to fill out the wells with a 3"/4" drop. If you have any pics at all please share...would be greatly appreciated!

I don't have pics of anything yet I only have 2 tires so far plus its winter and shitty out, and waiting on funds for spindles and shackles to get it down where i want it but will definatly share when i get some. In the process of buying a house to so thats not helping either. My truck also seems to be really low compared to most 4x4's it measures like 33 3/4 to the lip from the ground with a 265/75/16 decranked very little and blocks removed
