Looks good.
And ya'll are exactly right about the gearing. My buddy put 22.5s on his F-350 and could barely pull our horse trailer up our drive way loaded. It was sad to say the least.
Anyways, I too would like to hear about the ride......

I got mine from www.chromewheel.com but I do NOT recommend them by any means. A 2 week delivery took over a month and got the run around every day from them (just out right lied to me). The tires came pre-balanced with Equal packets that I have not read anything good about and I see why. The tires had horrible out of balance vibration so today I installed a set of Balance Master balancing rings that everyone raves about. The vibration is still there. As much as I love the looks and tons of attention, I am begining to think this was a bad idea.

dhlaw,
what size rim and tire and lift height is used on that white truck? do most people think that a truck setup like that is a bad investment due to ride quality? either way it it looks really good!

Ok I am reading alot of bs here first of all I noticed a very slight diff in power with mine and I pull 20k, with no problems. Also braking is not quite as good but I have had to make sudden stops on the freeway and haven't had a problem. My gearing is great this is why I got them at 80 mph I am at 1900 rpm's. Balancing is not a problem I have no wheel wobble at all you do not want equal in all of them it will not work, you want to do weight balancing all around, I did do equal in my outer rear because I diden't want big weights right on my rim.
These rims and tires are great for pulling very very stable, the overall ride of the truck is a little less forgiving but not bad.

No I live in SoCal fulltime. I was back there for a couple months visiting friends and working on a couple freelance projects though. Thats where I met up with SVTdubs and all those guys.
You ever make it out to streets or anything? We had a couple TT Vipers out running around on a regular basis, mostly doing the late night 200+ tollroad runs.
My car isn't anything special, just a solid red 01'. Here's a pic of a car in Elburn we built. I'm sure you've seen the other pics, Eric was whoring them all over the internet for a while.
Do you have the same screen name over there too?

JD- I wonder if they are working out better for you and D. Wiggs because yall have 6 speeds? Since the GS6 (or whatever the new manual is) is geared kind of low to start with.
