question for BLKBUTY?
I really like the look of your truck, which I'm sure you've heard several times. Also I'm sure you've answered this question several times, but I couldn't find the answer and really couldn't figure out how to search for it.
I know you've got a front end leveling kit along with a body lift. But while looking at your pictures, I'm hoping I saw one where you had your new wheels and tires with just the front end leveling kit before you got the body lift. I only plan on doing a front end leveling kit and I'm going with the same wheels you've got, but now I'm in a toss up between Nitto grapplers in 325/60 or like the one's you've got 325/65's.
If you had this set up before the body lift, can you tell me if you experianced any rub up front, and if so did you have to trim anything to get clearance? A guy has 325/65r18's mounted on a wheel that is only 8.5" and he had to trim just a little, but I know the eagle 178's are 9" so this would change things a good bit.

I tried the 325/65R18's with the Daystar 2.5 Leveling kit only and RUBBED alot - too much! So I went to the 325/60R18's. If you do NOT plan to do a body lift the 60's looked really nice! I did trim a little bit but you will be able to tell where when you get the tires on. Actually the Tire shop did the trim for me no charge! The PIC in my Gallery of just the Wheel/Tire was the 60's!
I am in the process of ordering some:
Bushwacker POCKET style fender flares
Superchips Microtuner
Volant Air Intake
Billet Door Handles / Tailgate
35x12.50x18 Open Country M/t Toyo's
Was going to get a Rancho 4" Suspension lift but chose to stay at this height so I can get it into my garage LOL!
UPDATE: In my gallery - 4th row 3rd PIC from left is with the Leveling kit and 60's!
Hope this helps!
