Truck looks good Shaun! My first thought when I saw the new wheels and tires is that you when with stock size... then I saw the 35x12.50R18... then I remembered "oh yeah, these trucks make big tires look small" lol

Should be covered under warranty and should be an easy fix. Oil pressure sending unit started going weird yesterday. No signs of low oil pressure with the motor its self so leaning towards a bad sensor. Will take it in tomorrow and have them go through it.

never was Neil. Could not justify the cost of 20" wheels and tires. When the 18" tires cost 1400 bucks. Besides I think the 18's look better.

Completely understand regarding the cost. For some reason I thought that you were bumping up in wheel size and width.

I went to 35's on an 18x9 rim. I had to go with a wider rim to fit the tires.

Agreed!
I myself am more a fan of less rim, and more sidewall look.
Sharp looking truck Shaun!!!
