The Toyo MT's have siping I believe but the Trail Grapplers don't.
I agreed with the matte black wheels mine are dirty as hell here in New England, what do you recommend to keep them clean looking?
IMO I would paint the flares to match the two tone otherwise it just looks goofy because the stripe stops at the flare instead of the end of the fender.

If you really have the time a nice wax coat every few months helps, i typically just use the glass cleaner in the white can, it cleans and doesnt try to make it shine like its gloss.
As far as siping goes I believe they are both about equal on Siping... For off road and mud tires siping is not wanted so they are kept to a minimum (at least thats what i was told).

As far as the siping the Trail Grapplers don't have any little sipes in the ***** but i though when i looked at the Toyo's they did I could be wrong though I have been before lol.
To the OP I would suggest fender flares because otherwise your truck sides will look like this and I washed my truck last week.

Lol thanks man I appreciate the comments! I put a lot of work into her to get it where I want. Make your truck how you see it in your head because thats what will ultimately make you love it.

Yeah, I have 3.73's right now and I believe 4.10's or 4.3's were what would return my engine to its stock RPM range on these tires. The V10 might be different though so I would research that, I plan to do a cummins swap eventually so I am keeping the 3.73's for now.

I just realized I have leaf springs front and rear. No coil spacers for me! Is it typically frowned upon to put a small lift block on the front axle? How about stacking leafs?

True lol, your truck may sit lower in the front than mine did originally then because my truck has the plow prep package it has stiffer front springs which lift the front up some. I think my truck measured stock from the ground do the top of the fender arc about 36-38 inches if I'm correct. Basically you may need a leveling kit just to fit them, mine rubbed but yours may rub worse until lifted a little. I personally would highly suggest the zone leveling kit because it comes with an adjustable track bar for almost the same price as any other lift kit and it is a great quality.
If you would like I can link direct paths to what i bought, i just linked the general sites earlier.
