thanks bud.i love them.the ride is ten times smoother with these then my worn toyos.they're a little skinny because its so big but they do not rub anywhere and i actually get full turning radius unlike my 15.50s i had.they are a little noisy on the road but hey,its a lifted truck of course im going to get noise.all in all i love it and im obsessed with the wheels.im thinking about gettting a bead ring to go on these.they make them in machined and black i just havnt decided what color im going with yet

Looks good Cody.

Do you notice much difference in the inside noise level with the exhaust dumped right behind the cab like that?

thanks steve.and ya the way its setup now is SOOOO much quieter than what it was.it was dumped right under the middle of my cab and even with the windows up i still couldnt have a normal conversation with anyone. so now its much nicer to be able to talk.lol

Muuuuuch better! And since the wheels are so special, you can probably give Jesse a call (if ya got the brass thingies to tell him his wheels suck!) and see if he would like to buy the wheels back off ya.

so a few updates...

for starters got myself a dp tuner setup(best investment ive ever made)
build a roof/light rack for the top for four 9" lights in the front,2 alley lights and a dust light.
not sure if i ever posted it but i have 2 jl audio 12" w3s behind the seat.full four channel with infiniti kappa speakers.planning on doing dynomat in the entire truck here pretty soon
also just picked up some 5" hanneman flared glass fenders for the front
pulled my bedsides 3"
sanded off the flames
ordered my tire regroover which i should be doing sometime this or next week
also did a prerunner front bar in the front that holds 6 lights total which i still am lagging on buying.all these offroad lights will be the 55w hid setup as well
started shaving my bedrails and also going to shave my tailgate.
thats about all i can think of that ive done to it.
plans are to lose this lift kit and go with the same kit i had on my excursion. 8" icon mid travel setup with bilstein setup.my excursion cycled 13" in the rear strapped so it handled very nicely

now onto the crappy pics i took of it so far.im going to get it painted when it starts warming up.still need to finish body work on it though.thanks for lookin.
