The 20's are not an option, i will be running DR's full time.

I like the 20's better but how about 18s with the same style as what you have? I have 18's on my truck with 29" tires and they ride very smooth.

I like the look of big tires front and rear. The more rubber touching the ground makes the truck look like its ready to put down a lot of power, and try to stop.

A little less drop will be cool and soft 8's aren't too bad. Get a 28" tire up front, IMO.

PLEASE don't paint it satin black. That will look terrible if you ask me. Why not a jet black black or metallic black?

I like satin black for ease of application since i'll be painting it myself, and also easy to maintain. I loathe waxing. Plus i actually like the look of satin black.

Well I understand that. Is it going to be single stage or BC/CC? I actually enjoy waxing...well I don't enjoy waxing so much as I love the results. There's nothing to me like having your paint look dripping wet.

Didn't mean to sound like a dick, BTW.

I'm all for the satin black...I'd like to do my truck like that. I'd run a slightly taller tire up front though.
