sweet... it will look real nice on 18's with a 2/4 drop.... I would personally know LOL... mine sits just a shade too high still for my liking so I am going to go to a 3/6 so it sits perfectly level. it seems to take my truck 3" lower in the baack to get it just right. it should ride fine too... so is it decided that you are coming out to HRP with us??

i will say they will get as good as traction as the proxies will. bigkid and others have had the proxies around here and i was able to see how they performed. even on spray i would catch traction faster on the street than them guys.

I have bigkid's old toyo's on my truck, awsome handling tire, great stance, but suck for traction oh well, that why i have the sticky mickey's on my other wheels

i suggest trying a set of grabber uhp's for your next set of tires. i think you will be happy. i have no complaint about them. granted, i have only driven them for 1000 miles but off the line, with a 3200 stall they will spin. m/t's will spin too. but they do catch rather quickly and grip. handling is superb as well. i am still at stock ride height except for a 1 inch lowering shackle. i do have a 2/4 on the floor waiting for install but overall i can hang corners a lot easier now.

Pretty sure that is the tire I am going with. May have to drop to a 17's. They only have one size for 18's.

Well I went to get a price on the wheels I planned on getting. Eagle series 219. The guy at Discount makes a call to get a price. He gets off the phone and tells me they do not make those anymore. He said they stopped making them about a year ago. But I have seen them for sale on a bunch of websites. This sucks
