I like it! Looks good? You dont have any rubbing problems when you turn the wheel with the 295?

So the stock rim size is 17? I have 18 stock rims with 265/70/18 and I plan to get these 285/60/18s. I haven't been able to find any thing between 285-325 which I know the 325s will definatly rub. I bet that your truck rides alot better now too.

nope no rubbing issues. the leveling keys take care of that. could have had problems with 305's maybe

negative. it actually rides a little stiffer do to the added stress the torsion bars are under and acutally having truck tires on instead of the factory soccer mom tires. its not bad but noticable. at least to my gf it is.

oh yea and the stock 06 half ton size wheels were 17"
