Finally time for lift and tires
Well it's finally time for lift and tires. My lift is already picked out; 2.5 teraflex coil lift with shocks. I was going to keep my 17's and put some 33's on them. I figured the price of wheel spacers is almost how much I can get 5 15" soft 8's, so I plan to just run 15's. I will then sell my rubi take offs that are bedlined to make a little bit of money back. I was thinking of running the 33x12.5x15 goodyear duratrac's. I really dont want to go up to 35's just yet b/c I drive about 500miles a week and I really cant afford to regear right now. Any comments on this setup? Should I do something a little bit different?

The 2.5" TF coil with shocks is an awesome package. I have it with all supporting mods and it is just fine for a daily driver. It actually rides better than stock. I'm very happy with it.

I would recommend getting 16" or 17" rims. Some 15" will interfere with your calipers. Also tire companies are moving to lager rim sizes because of the oem light truck market standardizing on 17" wheels. The future will mean more options on tires to choose from. 15" lt tires will start to become a niche item and you will be very limited on brands and tread patterns. Just my 2 cents.
