I know a lot of guys here in Ontario are running the **** Cepek Fun Country - tire supposed to pretty well in snow/ice conditions as well as summer. I wanted to throw those on my '06 with a 6" Fabtech lift but stock supplies didn't work out that way. I have Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's on for about 10000kms and they are great so far.

**** cepeks don't last very well.. They're too soft.. Nitto trail grapplers are suppose to have a long tread life plus they have a awesome lookin sidewall

well see i want nitto trails or open country r/ts but whats the deal with negative offset rims and stuff. I dont understand that and will 37s fit on a 6 inch?

Some lift kits support 37's - contact the manufacturer for recommendations and maximums - it also depends on your existing suspension. A 6" lift gives you UP to 6" of lift - if for example your rear leafs are already pretty flat and you don't add a leaf (and sometimes even if you do) your lift could only bring you up say 4 or 5" with a proper rake in the end.

Negative offset is the extent of how far the rim will stick outside the edge of the body. I have a -12 rim right now and I stick out about 1-1/2" from the body. Depends on the rim but the greater the (-) the more you will hang out. Don't jack yourself too high up without coming out at least a bit (in my opinion) the truck will start to look off balance and handle poorly with a real high center of gravity. Heavier offsets give a more 'planted' feel to the way the truck handles.

ok thanks alot man, i read in the manual it does support 37s but i cant afford new rims right now so i dont know what im going to do as far as that goes. Ill probably be riding around on stock wheels in the meantime which is going to look pretty stupid, but ya gotta do whatchya gotta do
