Thanks.
They are 275/45 x 20 with 4" back spacing. They are Eagle Alloy wheels. A buddy of mine got me a deal through the shop where he works.

They look similar to the AR Torque Thrust II. Is the price similar, about $450 for 20X10?

Thanks for all the kind words.

I paid $1,700 for all four wheels with lug nuts and new Goodyear tires mounted and balanced. From what I could tell after shopping around that seemed like a good deal.

Sorry, 2-1/2" drop spindles in the front and 2" extended shackles in the rear. I believe I'll need to have the leafs de-arched a couple of inches but won't know until the bed is on.

Here's one

Before the fenders were hung.

My camera screws with the color of the truck. It's actually a pearl bronze (not the purpleish color that appears) very similar to a 2005 Corvette color, Honda Element color and a few Fords as well..

Sweet truck!!!! What kind of tank do you have in the back? I'm looking to add the rear tank when I replace my rusted out bed with a new floor. I can only hope that mine will turn out as nice as yours has.
