One more thing to consider. Might as well go in to the decision 'eyes wide open'. It should be common knowledge that the higher the vehicle the lower that fuel mileage. Given that I already had the leveling kit and was used to getting better than 18 mpg for hiway driving (cruise set at no more than 65 mph). I was really disappointed my my max range with the new tires (plu the additional one inch of lift). I lost 1 - 1.5 miles per...

Yeah, mine stick out more because of the Mickey Thompson wheels. And, the front left rubs just a bit on hard left turns. If you keep the stock wheels, yours won't stick out as much (as you can see from Bob's pic above). The H2 wheels on ASchwartz's would be somewhere between the stock and mine.

I really like the look of the mt's but i have to be realistic. i don't need them. what is the best size e rated toyo at to go with? I was in a similar situation when I bought my tires. I went w/ the 285/75R17 AT's E rated and at the end of the day I...

Problem is new rims.

Ditto on what Avi said!

I really would love to get the Bilstein 2.65 system. Sounds like they are working on the long travel rear and front radius arms around those shocks.
