I think it looks hella nice. I don’t really notice any poke. I get it though, I went back and forth for a few weeks, deciding what size tires to go with. I couldn’t even decide on what rim size to get. Yours is real clean looking.

Winter mode already? And what tips are those? I want 5" gloss black tips
Don’t hate the stock wheel.
And yes the tips look funky. Has to be the camera playing tricks.

I've bought spacers and the directions essentially say to completely remove the knuckle, axle, etc. I can't believe it's this hard to do, especially if you got it done in a hour and a half! Is it just jacking and removing the coilover?
You don't need to remove the knuckle or axle. remove brake caliper, support it out of the way. Take off sway br end link from lower control arm. Take tie rod off knuckle. Pop the top ball joint. Remove bolts for the strut assembly and remove

They even did the door panels and re-wrapped the center console to match. I thought I was just getting the seats done.

I'm aware, and okay with it. That's never bothered me. Maybe it will drown out the engine mds
. They do claim to be quieter as far as m/t tires go. They say a few decibels quieter than their competition, but who knows if that's true or just marketing bs.

Lug nuts come today, wheel liners and level kit comes tomorrow. We're doing our final camping trip this weekend though, so hopefully a next weekend project.

You’re gonna luv those Michelins!
I’m on my 3rd set. On a few different trucks. That’s all I’ll buy! Like riding on a cloud. Great wear guaranty. Superior tire in heavy rain. Zero hydroplaning.
I also have used the Defender LTX on an suv and now just got them on my ram. I have the ORP and use MI orv trails, but try to stay out of mud and only drive in sand. Hoping for good wear and rain and snow combo.
My truck came with those tires and I was expecting the worst - actually they're not bad and have surprisingly good street manners. Since it's a lower rumble with the mud tread they are less noticeable than the Duratracs on our Grand Cherokee. The MDS is louder too - but with 3:21 gears the MDS doesn't activate on the highwayI'm aware, and okay with it. That's never bothered me. Maybe it will drown out the engine mds

I removed the steering arm, sway bar link, and UCA knuckle. That’s enough to allow the lower arm to bend out of the shocks way. I originally didn’t remove the sway bar form the LCA, but I could get the shock back into play with the new spacer attached to it. Once I removed the sway bar, I could drop the lower arm a little more to get it in. You definitely need a decent pry bar to get the lower shock mount into place. I probably wasted 15 minutes getting the first one into place. The second one was much faster.

I didn't do it, the idiot driver beside me did it.
