yup...I talked about these wheels for ahwile, she didnt realize they would be black until I installed them. I think they are growing on her though.
She's always been good about my mod time :)

Great looking truck OP, and thanks for all the pictures. Is that leveling kit in your signature a 2" rear drop or are you running a completely stock suspension setup on your truck? Do you have any rubbing/fitment issues and is your truck a 2WD truck?

Last question, what made you choose the 305/45's vs the 305/40 or 285/45 tires MOST people or putting on their 2011 and later express trucks?

According to my calculations, it seems like the 305/45's are a closer match to the stock sized 275/60/20's:

Size Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
275/60-20 6.5in 16.5in 33.0in 103.6in 611 0.0%
305/45-22 5.4in 16.4in 32.8in 103.1in 615 -0.6%

thanks,. its the Ground Force 2" lowering springs and new shocks for the rear. Took maybe 40 minutes to install. Hardest part was pulling inner fender well plastics to make access to shocks easier.
Other than that, no changes to stock suspension.
I just liked the look of Walts setup, so chose the same tire. Looks, rides great, no rubbing at all.
