Also, more good news. I was planning on sending my PCM back to Wait4Me to get it recalibrated for the 31's so that my speedometer wouldn't be wrong. When I checked it with my GPS though, it seems to be spot on. Would the increased circumference interfere with any other systems or only the speedo/odometer? I'm trying to determine whether I should send in the PCM or not. The retune is free and shipping wouldn't be much but if the speedo is correct and everything else functions fine, I don't want to send it in if I don't have to....

yes I know SES is on, P0300 and P0175

I cut my fenders pretty much the exact same in the rear and front. If i ever have to do anymore cutting im not useing a sawzall anymore. Im useing an angle grinder, so much more easier to control and a lot more precise without the banging against the paint. But looks good and pretty much just like mine. Im getting my 31's hopefully in a few weeks. Can you do me a favor and put the stock size tire next to the 31? Or in front just so i can get a better perspective? Thank you and looks great

I like the way the black wheels/tires look.

Thats a good one too, But if you get a the chance if you could just pretty much put the stock tire in front of it like looking at a side angle of your truck and put the stock on in front of it and next to it to see the height difference. If not its no biggie, I thank you though. Like i said it looks great!

You're right about how similar ours are. I ended up rounding the corner of the bumper a little though (might do it to the fender too). What size tires are on yours?
