Glad to see that I'm not the only one that opted to stay with the standard 18" wheels instead of plopping down $$ for the 20"

I kept the 18s also. Figured since I'm getting new wheels and tires soon, didn't need to pay for the 20s

I stuck with the 18's as well. Shorter so fits in the garage better and tires are cheaper.
I had to get the camper package to get the 3.55 rear end

Yes, I choose everything for load capacity and the 18's will also make the truck sit about an inch lower, which will help me on leveling my Fifth Wheel Camper.
LT 275/70R18 = 275*.70*2(/25.4)+18 is 33.15" tall
LT 275/65R20 = 275*.65*2(/25.4)+20 is 34.07" tall
At least mathematically anyway

The reason I went with 18s is two-fold. I have a brand new set of Firestone Winterforce 275/70R18 waiting to go on the stock wheels, and that makes it so when I trade the truck in it will have brand new tires on it. Second, it's gonna get leveled and have 35" Toyo MT tires on aftermarket 20" wheels so why buy an optional wheel/tire package when I'll be running aftermarket $$ wheels from April-November every year.

You'll get your window sticker before etis shows up . Etis only shows up after your build. Hope that helps
