Its a 275-55-17-which is about a 28.9" diameter,stockers were 255-70-16's, or right at 30" diameter. Truck seems to run better on the smaller rubber.

No not yet. I am supposed to be getting my money this weekend, then I will start buying the components. I am still shopping for the best prices and what I want. I figure I can go with whatever the cheapest, most available hangers, but I really want Eibach 2" front coils, but would go with McGaughy's if not. Then I just need to get all the other stuff like shocks, carrier bearing relocater and some shorter bumpstops. Then I'll have to call up Daniel and see when he can help me out with the install. lol.
I really wished that they had the Grabber UHP in a 285 width, in this size, but these were what was available. But they work good and I am very satisfied with them.

That's a nice looking truck! Even though I like the Sierra door moldings, I would take them off your truck. It will look cleaner without them, IMO. I would also consider removing the emblems on the tailgate. I also think your truck looks good now with just the 2" shackles. Yeah, 2" in the front wouldn't hurt but it's not necessary.
