:whs:

With 20's I feel low on sidewall.

I do miss driving my truck with the 22s and 305/45s....ugh

Lower is always better for the ride, on the actually wear of the truck, better MPG's, faster slip times etc.

Paint everything else red that's black then lower it just my 2 cents

Ive got mine lifted 3 inches over stock with 35X13.50-18's on it. Looks wide and low compared to yours right now. Not too big, not too small. Stock height doesnt do these trucks justice. Go a little lift and make it look wide(makes it look lowered). Just my opinion.

Lower it. I love being able to step in and out of my 2wd and parking in parking structures. I get tired of climbing in and out of the 4wd.

The only thing that is making me regret not keeping mine lowered is parking decks. I have to park in a parking lot all the way across campus from the building I have all of my classes in because my truck won't fit in a parking deck that's a whole lot closer.

Thats my reasoning as well jeff. Not so much closer but its detroit. Rather be out of sight. Springs and links are in. Holy crap these are tiny.

- this is gasser shocks and no rear block

Good God that thing looks nice! I wish I didn't have brand new set of 37s on my winter wheels. My summer rims have 35s on them. If I could get some 33s I'd levelmine with a 350 block and never look back.

Hey guys what size tire. Going with a street/all season. At are to much for as little time as ill use them. I was thinking a toyo proxes st II in a 305/45/22. 32.8" tall. You guys have any suggestions? Think i could fit a 325/50/22 toyo proxes 1?

Look at the kuhmo ecsta stx. Wear great, pull great and look great. I paid $400 for mine shipped to my door from either discount or tire rack. Either way, I have around 55k on them right now with a lot of tire left. There aren't many stops where my truck doesn't get sideways. For what I paid for them, I am very impressed. I would go 22s. That's just me.

They're junk, I've had 2 blow out on me.

Go with 420s or proxxes.

I've had many tires LOL

Strokin7 · Nov 9, 2012

420's hook up pretty good

blk350on20s · Nov 9, 2012

Think im goin proxes st2. More of a all season than the nitto. Kumho looks really nice as well. Dont want blow outs though

6.4psd916 · Nov 9, 2012

I haven't had my 420's in the snow or mud, but have done great in the rain and haven't slipped pulling the boat out of the water where many others slip. Do decent in the dirt.

I loved mine in wet weather!

I've ran numerous sets of Kumho ecsta. NEVER had a problem. I've been using them for ten years. Just put a new set on my eclipse. I have only ran nitto mud grapples and wouldn't reallychoose them if there was another option. To eskew the 420s for that reason would be sillythough. I honestly think any of the three you listed would be good.

I'm sure, but while towing my enclosed trailer I had multiple blow outs .

I'm sure they would be fine with out a load but they were not good with a light load.

Either way I would never buy another set of those tires
