Looks great! The new wheels really fit well, and compliment your truck.

How do they do on the road, compared to your previous set of tires?

They are way better due to the fact they are radials, not bias ply

Looking good, and I'll bet it rides a whole lot better with those tires on it.

That looks freekin great. Why would you drop it back down? IMHO that stance is perfect.

That is my old F350 w a RSK and a 5" block in the rear and 315's on 10" wheel. Just high enough to clear the tires w no rub

That truck looks sharp and if you end up somewhat duplicating it on the current truck, it will turn out well. The stance on it is great - just "high enough" in my opinion.
