Same size. 33x12.50 on 20x9 20mm mavericks. Tires are gladiator xcomps. Im takin it in the morning to get stt pros put on due to loudness. Those are gonna be 295 60 20. No rubbing on the 33x12.50x20 even with a 2in level kit before the 3.5.

Sticking with the GM & GSD Theme for Mrrr Rippin

 

Installed aftermarket (Spyder LBLED-BK) tail lights. Waited for months on back order for the ones to match my headlights.

Taillights are on sale $293 USD (free lower 48 states shipping) from Andy's Auto Sport + ~$25USD for the philips 921 'backup' light (x2 if you change cab top reverse lights too but mine are blocked by canopy so ignored them) + ~$20USD for the philips 194 licence plate lights both on Amazon.com for anyone curious. Andy's had the cheapest price around plus a $10 coupon for signing up for email newsletter and believe me I shopped around. As a flappy headed Canadian this costed me over $500 in funny money all said and done paying for exchange rate + int'l shipping and customs just for the tail lights, so if you ever see a Canadian plate with aftermarket mods give them a thumbs up because we pay out the nose in comparison. If you ever see me and I manage to get some Amp Research Powersteps I expect nothing less than a high five because it will cost me almost double what you guys down south pay.

 

Check my build for install tips.

where in Canada do you live, I'd be willing to help my neighbors to the north and east help with saving cash. My driveway/garage is yours if you want to wander south for purchase and install.

I am in Victoria Canada which ironically is a lot closer to parts of Washington than the rest of Canada (I can see Seattle and Port Angeles from my house at night).

 

If are in the NW / WA state I just may take you up on that someday as it is literally worth making a trip for some higher priced items and something I have already considered.

Looks good, how is the ride with the 3.5"? I'd love to do that to my new truck but am afraid of premature ball joint issues and angles....

Rough country. It is a rough country bull bar too. I just painted it with textured paint and flat black to match the running boards

Ill post up some more pics in a little while. Ive been busy every since i got it all done. I had line x put mine on. They charged 825 installed with an alignment for the kit with the new a arms. They even gave me 100 bucks for my 50 dollar leveling kit i had. It rode like crap with the gladiators. It rides really good with the stt pros. If the lift makes the ride worse the tires make up for it because it rides really good in my opinion. I can say enough about how much i like the stt pros. Very quiet mt.

Ill see what happens on the ball joints. Line x will replace the top ones free of charge labor and alignment so lower is all i have to worry about i think.
