I'm sure that you've mentioned this already, but what size tires are you puttin' on the Titan wheels, and how tall are they?

275/55-18 Toyo Proxes. Calculates to 29.9", but I'm guessing it will be around 29.25-29.5" The current tires calculate to 32.8" but they are actually 30.5" tall.

Drove it around a bit tonight....handles MUCH better than it used to. There is tons less body roll in the corners Suspension is a little less forgiving, but it's more firm now and I think I actually like it better than being squishy like it used to be.

Looks much improved man. I really want to see what it looks like with the new wheels and tires.

What are your fender measurements now?

exactly. If you had mountain roads.....gawd, if you had hills you'd find it corners hella better too.
