I finally got them balanced, aligned and mounted.
So far so good, I love the way they look and ride.
Dealership fixed odometer and TPMS for FREE.
What you think?

Looks good man. I really like my KM2s. By far the best MT BFG has ever put out. Other than the Krawlers that is. I hope you enjoy.

Did you have to cut the back of the inner fender to get those to fit? and can you still go lok to lock without rubbing? other than taht it looks awsome

Nice. I love that look...no lift, stock wheels, and mud tires (that's what I'm running). Makes it look tough, IMO.

Ok, you've made up my mind...however that works. 285's here I come. How far up are those T-bars cranked? Any change in ride? My ride sucks already, don't need to have dental work every pothole!! :) Looks great man.

Are those wheels offered in chrome?

Nope, unfortunately not. I think they'd look good in chrome or polished aluminum.

No question! I would run them on my classic if they were in chrome! They may look awesome powdercoated as well!

Just a little (can't tell if you don't know) will post pictures.
Lock to lock with no rubbing.
(Remember I isntalled a leveling kit).

Looks really good. I really like the stance of your truck with that set up.

How's the road noise with them?

No crank, just the leveling kit. The ride did change…for the better (more tire, less pressure, larger contact area) hard to believe!

Damn, didn't see the leveling kit in the sig. :( I wonder if they'd fit with the tbars up. Still contemplating.

There is a little hummm at 70 mph, but the ride is so much better.

Thanks for the info. I'm running the same set up but have a little rubbing issues. The tire shop believes its a wheel off set issue

That's a good looking truck. Sounds like you found a good dealership, also.

Cranked my stock bars and got my 285/70/17 KM'2 to fit with out trimming. Tires are better IMO than the old style mud terrains. Hopefully they wear good as well.

Sorry for the delay but I misplaced the digital camera.
Here is the picture of the trimming.
As you can tell it was minor.
