ordered a lift and tires, DAMN tires are expensive now!
I cant believe how much tires have gone up in the last few years! I decided against buying a newer truck for a DD so figured I'd spend some $$ and make the old truck a little nicer to drive. Discount tire wants almost $1100 for a set of 285-75-16!!
Anyway, ended up scouring the net for a price match and ended up with some 295 75-16 BFG a/ts, 2" pro comp lift and shocks, and a set of 16x10 Mickey thompson classic II wheels, not sure about the wheels though I kind of like the newer style stock wheels I'm running now. I'm also going to be changing interior color from red to gray, and will have it painted in the next month or so  . I'll get some pics up when I get it all installed (hopefully this weekend) Here is what it looks like now

Now? As in July, and there's still snow on the ground there?

As far as the tires go, I am looking for a set of 30x9.5x15s and may have to due it in pairs just to keep the immediate cost down.

So I ended up cancelling the lift, tires fit with no rubbing at all
Looks like I get to order some parts for the blower on the K5 now!
