I have a 3" Leveling Kit with 1" Rear Block and Nitto Terra's sitting on the stock rims currently but hopefully not for much longer. For some reason I can not find my pictures of the truck before the kit.

My truck seems out of place because the pics I have right now are right after it was cleaned while the rest of yours are all dirty with the kit on. Oh well.

Sorry y'all, but I am interested in your experience thus far with the Nittos. Seems like you all three have them. Coskid, you may have replied on my question before, can't recall. I am needing tires still and cannot decide. These were a consideration for the look and traction, but 98% of my driving is on the highway, so smoothness and treadlife are important to me. Thanks, and sorry again for going off-topic. PM me if you prefer. THX

Also, Quack, looks like you have the 35" size, right? How's that working for you? I have 33" and was considering the larger size. What gears do you have?

Actually we all in this thread so far have the Nitto's on our trucks and I don't know about everyone else but I love mine. Great on and off road tire with very little noise while on pavement.

I have the 275/65/20 which works out to a 34x11x20 I believe. They fit awesome with no rubbing and no trimming to the truck. As far as gears I have the 3.73 LS. I wish I had taller gears with these tires due to some power loss, however with the Banks Stinger system I gained back most of the power from the lift and bigger tires.

I need a AAL or block in the rear though since the ARE shell weights the back down.

As far as mileage, I have over 27,000 miles on my NTG's and they still look new. I get many compliments on how they are wearing. I rotate every 6,000 miles and balance every 12,000 unless needed otherwise. I also run 52 psi in the front and 50 psi in the rear. Being E rated for 80 psi I like the ride at these pressures. The ride is amazing and on highway manners are superb. I would buy these tires again in a heartbeat.

Hope that this helps you. By the way I paid $250.00 a tire for mount and balance here in Ol' Virginny at a buddy's shop. He also installed the level kit and Banks system for me.

I paid the same as Quak did for my tires too at a local shop here in VA and mine work out to be about 33" so just a bit smaller then his but not a bad size and no rubbing at all.

Why yes it is....good eye there. Brian is a buddy and I only use his duck calls. I have a Original in cocobollo and a Swamp Bore Hybrid in green curly maple with a acrylic stopper.

Hands down the best calls I have ever used.

1bad67sbf..nice truck! What type of leveling kit is that? I see it's a 2.5", but did you add to the blocks in the back? and do you have any rubbing with the 35's?
