Thanks all
I'm still getting used to it. But I like it a lot.
The skinny stock stance was really getting to me.
I won't be changing much else on the truck.
I like to keep it simple.

No negatives? go ahead and be honest!

I have to get new tires sometime soon.
285/55s are hard to find. But I like this size so far.
I may end up with 285/60s
I don't know how it will look with the 60s, maybe too puffy?

I am liking the shorter tires and lighter wheels.
They won't last very long though.
It rides smoother with these on.

can you take a picture from the back of the truck? For some reason, the front looks higher than the rear, but it might just be from where the picture was taken...

The front is about 1/8" lower than the front.
Must be the angle of the photo.

I would never ride like that man!

Maybe I'll get a shot from behind, but my tailgate is F'd right now. I need a new one.

LOL,
I have 3 friends trying to convince me that they NEED it.
(and that I should install it for them)
It's a great cam, and I may hang on to it for a bit.
My dad is looking for a truck, and I know he would like to have the cam for towing.

Sorry, not for sale.
