Thanks guys.

Had some issues with the Toyo's not balancing properly... ride was full of vibration and steering wheel shuddering. Have been working with the group I bought them from, so we finally ended up trading them out for a different set of tires. Went with Cooper Zeon LTZ's and went up a size to 275/60. With the 2" level, they're good to go as long as I'm going straight. When I turn, I've got some rubbing issues... so I'll be sorting them out over the next few days along with touching up the plastidip where they got scratched while they were dismounting/mounting the tires. Loving the look (and the ride quality!). They're a lot quieter than the Toyo's, look just as aggressive (if not more so?), but most importantly they balanced properly and ride so much better.

I think I've found the grill I want to put on. Would have to paint it before I put it on, but I think it's the look I want. Would help if I could find a pic of a black one. Surely someone has done it. It's from Paramount Restyling, and has vertical bars instead of mesh, but it's the same shape and all.

Here is a pic of it by itself-

Took it deer hunting this weekend. Definitely see a difference in this and my old Sierra... That locker in the Sierra really made a hide difference in traction. Guess I'll be looking to improve function before I improve looks going forward

They're 20x9, 25 offset. Just slightly further out than stock. Heck, I was rubbing slightly with the factory size 275/55's without the level. Still haven't fixed the rubbing issue, not really concerned about it now. I just watch and make sure I don't go to full lock in reverse.
