Very nice looking combination.
Do you know the load rating of the wheel? I couldn't find it on the 'net.

On a side note, I saw some 20" wheels with BFG AT's in a 55 series mounted. Pretty wild looking.

33" tires

I 've been waiting for sometime now for someone to come out with a true 33" tire that will handle the weight of our trucks and load. Most 33" tires are only rated at 2,600 lbs. Nitto recently came out with a tire that is about 33.1" in diameter and is rated at 3,495 lbs.

The 315/70-17 BFG AT's are rated at 3195#. Pretty high for a Load D tire.

BLING BLING

I just recently installed a 3" spacer set, shocks, and an add a leaf set for the rear.

22x9.5 wheels rated for over 3000 lbs.

Nitto 325.50.22's load range E

tires measure 34.75 inches

NO RUB!!!!!

Pretty sweet and the tires are plenty big enough to have enough rubber over the wheel so it doesnt look like a fanbelt wrapped around the wheel.

I think Procomp's 33x12.5x17 tire is D rated, but close to 3000 lbs.

my .02

I am shopping for something similar to what you have around the Dallas area, any suggestions or where to go? Do you have some pics of your truck w/ that combo on there?
Thanks

Sweet looking setup.
How do the tires perform when aired down?

DUNNO

I doubt these will ever be aired down.....

Something to note(and I know this makes no sense): The truck rides better now than without the 3" pucks and rear add a leaf!

Something that might explain some of this is the factory "off road package" shocks were probably stiffer than the BDS Shocks we put on.
