Real world advice on nitto 420s

[swinky]

They look pretty sexy I must say

The wheel gap kinda kills it. If you're going to run them stock height in the front and no block or a 1 inch block in the rear seems to look best.

Thats my plan, Issue is my truck sits pretty stout in the front. I clear 35s no problem.

I just ordered a 1 inch block for the rear and im removing my leveling kit. I'll let you know how it goes

Should squat it down pretty good.

I just dont know how to lower my front? Im on stock leafs? Worn out leafs at that. Without some serious fab idk how to lower the front really.

I am going to pick up a set of 305/50R20 420s tomorrow. They are half tread and dont have any plugs or anything. For 200 bucks they are probably worth it. Cheap way to see if I like it or not. Im also picking up a set of 35/12.50r20 terra grapplers that are almost smoked for 100 bucks. Seems like a good back up idea

Stock front height without a leveling kit is a good height for 420s

I hope so, no real way to lower my truck minus doing an 05+ axle swap and cut the coils

What wheels are you running?

I know with the superduty's they have different code's of leaf spring some sit lower than others. Not sure if OBS is the same though. If you want to lower it might look into that. The gasser leaf springs might make it sit lower.

Currently stock 16 inch alcoas from a 99-04 SD. But I bought a set of 20 inch 5 spoke lariat wheels. I think they are 05-07??

I looked into that, my leafs have 300k on them so I dont even know if new ones with a lighter load rating would change anything. I might as well try it seeing as how they might ride a bit better

You can always start pulling leafs out of the spring pack if you are feeling froggy.

lol Its only got two to start with. Could just ratchet strap my front end down to load it and get the look. Ive got a lot of cosmetic work to do on the truck anyways so I will be in the garage enough to figure it out. Im starting double think the 20s on a regular cab thing. On the upside I can always get out of the wheels what I got into them
