New Wheels Tires are on! 325/65R18
(excuse the crappy pics, didn't have time during work to get it cleaned up and get good pics)
The soon to be ol' lady (getting hitched 6/24) was supposed to take me to lunch today for an early B-Day present because she is in school tomorrow. Instead she took me to Discount tire and hooked me up.
Hoping to try them out tomorrow on my Birthday, on the beach...

AWESOME RIDE!!!!!!! I was at the beach today as well. I hope you are getting a 25% increase in fuel mileage as some on this site claim when you put a taller heavier tire/wheel on. 
Seriously though, that is one of the nicest CTD I have seen.

lol, 25% gain...pfffftt!
I just had my speedo recalibrated, and my MPG on the highway are about the same - maybe .5 less.
The city driving is down about 1.5MPG.
Thanks for the compliments - I've got it loaded down right now ready for a weekend on the beach. WIll post some loaded pics after I get back!

Yeah, I am not going to point any fingers, but the thread would not be hard to find
and of course by no means hijacking YOUR thread, because back on topic.......That truck is FINE of yours. Something about white with a chrome rim. The ride height is PERFECT, you pretty much nailed it. Congrats!!

Is the leveling kit all that you had to do?

No rubbing at all.
The closest point is the outside rear edge of the front wheel well. There is about 1.5-2" of space at the closest spot.
there's about an inch between the control arm and the tire at full lock.
there's plenty of height clearance.
All I have is the spring spacers up front, nothing else (except shocks, which dont affect height).
I did remove the lower valance on my front bumper, but I don't think it was necessary. I just like the look better. I am trying to make my truck look fairly close to the banks sidewinder truck. next is the SRT hood.
These tires are great in the sand - went to the beach again this weekend. They are also quiet.
