Thanks guys for all your input I'm pretty sure I kno what I'm gonna do. Most likely I'm gonna go with the protocols with 31" Goodyear wrangler duratracs. Just lik in those pics. This is going to be a long process seeing that I am a freshman in college and jus doin this little by little but I will def post pics of the progress. I love this forum! It's nice to see ppl come together to help one another lik this. Thanks again to all your help!

Glad we could help. Good luck, I know the whole school pressures, if it weren't for that my truck'd be getting an entire new paintjob.. not just the rockers...

just to warn ya.
those duratracs are a soft tread tire, meaning that it will wear very fast with lots of daily driving in hot temperatures.
As I have the tire. Although I love them to death, awesome tires.

Post some pics once you get everything

yah the duratracs are a great snow, and water tire. And would be a great tire for someone who lived in a constanly cold climate, but if not, definently a winter tire.

I will use mine year round, so I expect to be getting tires within a year an a half from now. It's worth it though, I love em.

With 3.5 to 4 inches of lift, you can run 15 x 10's with a 5.5 backspacing if you also do a little fender trimming... or never go off-road.
