Thanks man... i have 285/50/18s on em... they are the nitto 404 extremes.
I got a steal on them since i work at discount tire. ha

They are just a bit wide though so i will prolly go with some 275s next time to be sure of clearing the fender

I cut one coil off the front springs and it lowered it down about 3" and it rides great! the rear is the same hanger/shackle combo I had before.
