Just got my 6" BDS Long Arm kit!!

Just got it installed 2 days ago and WOW, what a difference. I thought the
35" tires were going to be too small but actually not bad at all. The wheels have a -20 offset which makes it look much, so for now im happy with the 35" tires. 10" rear hitch drop btw as well and I just debadged the tailgate. Those are dirty pics right after the drive from SOUTH DAKOTA, I just cleaned it today and will post more tomorrow:

smoother, more firm, I feel like I have complete control of the truck, when I would hit a bump or pothole, I used to get tossed around, not anymore.

Thanks guys, yes it did fix my rubbing, but its funny b/c it just misses the fender again by about an inch, that pretty much means that even if I wanted bigger tires I couldnt really do it unless I got some mud tires since the sidewalls have a round thread pattern, either way im happy with my current setup. However, what would be one size up from my 325/60/20? I dont want 37" tires and I want an all-terrain, anyone sell 36" tires?

Came out great. I love the ride of my Carli suspension, but I do wish it was an inch or two taller...
