Re: everyone's opinions
Nice combo. What size tires are you gonna go with? The truck looks great. I'm sure you can't wait to drive it.

Re: everyone's opinions
The last set of tires I bought were the Bridgestone Dueller AT's Revo. Get the LT tires though, not the P tires. The LT's have a more aggressive tread. They rode great, wore good, looked very good and were still quiet. We had them on my wifes 99 suburban. Great tires.
Your color is good. That shade of blue always looks good. Wheels are fine. Wheels are always subjective. Sometimes they look overly aggressive, or "too" cool, if you know what I mean. I like more sedate styling. These would work for me.

Re: everyone's opinions
Pro comp xtreme A/T almost indisputably the best hybrid tire on the market. I run the Bridgestone Dueller Revo LT's on my suburban and they are also excellent tires for street and snow, but not very aggressive at all.

Re: everyone's opinions
The blue color looks great! Not sure that I'm digging the modern style wheels, but I do think that they are a definite improvement over the white wagon wheels you had before. I run 31" BFG Mud Terrains on my truck and will shortly be running 33" Super Swampers on my Blazer. Both are a bit loud for everyday driving.
