Yeah, me either! I'm going to wait on the bed until we get the brake lines ran, and I still need to wrap up some stuff with the shocks, torq the UBolts, etc. It's getting really close though.

Dad is doing really well. He was up walking around yesterday like nothing ever happened. It was a Miniscus Tear, they repaired (?) it with a scope / day surgery type of thing. Pop's a fighter man, he doesn't like to be on his back for too long.

Thank You Keith. The 295/40 looks really good and if my truck was bagged that's probably what I would have ran, but .. being just a big static drop I wanted to fill the wheel wells a little bit. I think the 295/45 will 'tuck' more under the fender wells. I don't like to see the top of the tire when you stand beside the truck .. just me. My wheels are 6"BS too so it will offset that extra section width of my tires. I'm going to adjust the wheel wells and bed wood back about 1/2" on either side to accomodate the larger meats.

A 295/42.5/20 would be perfect..
