Hmm, how much did they run you per tire? I have 285/60/18s on my rims and they spin like crazy, I might have to look into the 404s. I have heard about Nittos having better traction from a few people.

Eibach has a 1.5" front spring and rear shackle kit,
there is lots of 2" front spring or spindle kits.
i might try the eibach kit on my xcab

I have a 2" rear drop with shackles and another 1/2"-1" from the rear spring clamps and my truck sits pretty level. It is an extended cab but I love the stance on it.
