also keep in mind if you go "huge" as far as wheels/tires/lift is concerned on the 2009+ trucks, you might have to deal with stabilitrak complaining/dinging or, even more annoying, actually triggering a VSES event when you are merely going around a sharp corner (because you lifted the truck, the CG becomes higher, and the stabilitrak system thinks your truck is about to roll over)

true. i think he would also run into rubbing before that. the nbs is decieveing because from the side with the wheels straight, it looks like there is tons of room and in a way there is but the issues come when turning the wheel in the areas at the very bottom on both sides.

Whatever combo is chosen, my advise is to either physicially see or talk directly to someone who is already running the tire/wheel size to determine if there is any rubbing and if so, how much trimming is necessary to get rid of the rub. Im not crazy about chopping away in to the truck to the point is is an "eye sore"

I am running 285\70\R17 BFG AT when they mounted the tires I had them turn up my torsion bars about 1.5'' then do an alignment. Now the tires don't rub unless I am turning sharp and hit a bump like pulling into a parking lot. It also levels out the truck a bit I am really happy with how it looks and its still in manufactures specs.

I have not done much to my truck yet, I have a Banks intake that is a nice product good quality. I do plan in the near future to get a programmer PPE Hot +2 or EFI Live and a MBRP exhaust most likely. Hope you figure out what you want you have lots of options.

First thing's first - Exhaust

If you get an exhaust first and want to delete the cat and dpf you almost need a tuner the sametime to clear codes.

Spray in bed liner is nice.

Mudflaps - depending on your tastes, they are either love it or hate it mod.

Lund "Interceptor" bug shield/hood protector.

Your truck looks great. I think that's the look I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks I am really happy with it. Like roger24 mud flaps do help, I don't have a bug gaurd yet away. The bumpers on the doors I took off and I think that looks alot better.
I do wish the rims were different, I like the some of the other stock rims the polished ones but they are only 16''.

Hi Guys, i want to thank everyone for the help and advice. I'm taking delivery of my new truck tomorrow. The dealer has installed all the mods in my signature. Well, all except the tuner as I will do that myself

I'll post some pics once i get her home.
