Default Swapped from 245s to 285s on my 04 2500...pics inside

Got some pics up tonight on Webshots. Heres the link

http://community.webshots.com/user/cammin


Before was stock 245s. After pics are 285/75/16s Dunlop Rovers AT.. Tires are quiet and ride great so far. Damn good price too

FWIW, I cranked the torsion bars up about 1.5 turns before taking the truck off the rack just to be sure they would clear. I did no trimming up front..

Billet grill will be here tomorrow, then time to get some tint on the windows .....

MUCH better looking. That's the way they should come from the factory.

I am looking to do the same thing. did you have to get the truck realligned after cranking the torsion bar. how OFF is your speedo now with the bigger tires.
