Did a measurement on my wheel well and have the height to put a 32"x10.50x15 but don't have the clearance sideways do I cut the front bumper to fit or do they sell bumpers that will fit I'm roughly 3" short for the tires I want and of I put the 2.5" suspension lift on will I have to extend the steering colum. Also found 2 extremes in the junkyard and they came stock with 373 rear ends can I pull them and fit them in my rear and front end will they fit without to many complications. Know this is alot to ask at once but been working on this truck for 3 years a little but at a time. Is there any good offroad tires that won't give off massive road noise while driving. Thanks alot for any info. Will post before and after pics soon

Do you think the stock tires on an 03 4dr 4x4 would look good if I added a 2.5 RC lift?

Well you cant use the extremes rear end in the front for one... For two, they are 2WD rear ends, and are not as wide as the 4x4 axles.

So no, you cant use the extremes axles.
