Gracias, I'm going to bring it over. A mild torsion crank won't bother me much since the truck is already rough as hell. I just think it would look better with a little bigger tires than the current ones.

They look very good with that size tire. If you have 4.10s they will actually help your highway mileage a (very) little bit as well.

I like mtz's, also like BFG KM2's, the new nitto trail grappler, cooper discoverer stt, toyo open country m/t....there are so many options out there depending on what you want to spend.

Just level the front with a set of 5100 series Bilstein shocks. Your ride quality will not suffer much if at all going this route.

ETA I'm not sure the 5100 series are adjustable on the 06 and back GM trucks.

they are nice! and does anyone here have any experience dealing with light line 4x4?
Posted on 4/24/12 at 1:18 pm to snake23
It'll be a miracle if i ever get 50k miles out of a set of mud tores on my truck. Damn thing destroys front tires.

You probably won't need a leveling kit or Light line. Grab a socket wrench, tape measure and a jack and you can do it in 30 minutes.
Jack the front up, tighten the bolts on the torsion bars a turn or two, lower truck and see what you gained. Do that until your at the height you want. Just don't go much higher than 1.5". Although I was stupid and went up like 2.5" and my CV's were at a ridiculously steep angle. Never had problems though.
And 285/75/16 is the way to go. It's like 33x11.5 if I remember right. Oh and Mud Grapplers are terrible on mileage and alignment. Go with the MTZ's if you wanna pay that much; but I'd rock some Trail Grapplers if it were me.
