Thanks Chris, I'm enjoying 'catching up' on all the info here. Currently trying to wrap my brain around the 'what wheel/tire fits my setup' question... lots of opinions, lots of picture backed facts... but no standard as to method used to get to the heights in question.
I've got my heart set on some polished salt flats wearing good old T/A radials... I'm an older guy and like that 70s muscle car 'meat on the tires' look. Weighing the 15" vs 16" thing now... as well as the biggest size to fit all around with just Belltech 3" drop spindles vs separate sizes front & back.

you'd think I'd buy the truck first, but I grew up in the 70s with my old man's car parts catalogs making parts lists for either baja bug or jeep builds for fun.
