How do you like those Xtreme ATs? I'm very interested in getting a set in 37x12.50, but concerned about how they sound at highway speeds.

I hope no one considers this hijacking, but does anyone know of a front hitch for the 08-09 trucks that does not mount below the bumper? I would like to have a front hitch, but don't want to sacrifice my approach angle.

Thanks,

JE

I found that out a day or two after I ordered mine.

I always wanted one of those Leed's but dang they were expensive.

My friend has one of those and they just don't look very soild to me. I guess I feel safer with it bolted directly to the frame and not just resting on top of the hooks with a bolt thru them.

Thank you. I left them off for easier access to the hubs. I thought about leaving the hole center out of the wheel because the hub i almost flush with my wheels. Do you have a picture of how yours is set up?

So far I love them. They have a very low pitch sound to them at 70mph Very quite for a tire AT tire with that large of voids in the tire. I was expecting louder but with the windows up you can barely hear them. With the windows down and the radio on you can barely hear them as well. I was very surprised.
