The only issue I've had with them is they don't clean themselves that well with thick mud and just turn into slicks. Of course, that's because they're an AT not an MT. But otherwise they're fantastic. I think they're supposed to last around 50,000 miles highway, but they don't say that anywhere, thet's just what I've heard from various owners.

My mud days are over with this truck, so that wouldn't be an issue for me. I just want something with an aggressive appearance but decent road manners and the KO2 seems to be the best option. I'm just glad BFG brought out the KO2 because I was never a fan of the KO's appearance.

Well if that's the case, then yeah, KO2s are perfect.

Recently I put my shackles at the 2" setting to try and level the truck out since the lean looked terrible. But now I remember why I hated the lift shackles the last time I had them. The axle isn't centered in the wheel wells. So I guess I'll do what I did last time and make a custom leaf pack so I can put the factory shackles back on.

In the meantime, here's a pic with both trucks.

Finally laid some carpet on my sub shelf. Maybe some day I'll actually get the subs installed.

Just a little. I have a deadline of September to at least get the wheels and tires on, and hopefully the flares. Now that I have the proper gearing, I have no excuses to not be running the 35's.

Five. lol. And honestly, possibly not the last. But we'll see once I get the current set mounted up. I'm not a huge fan of spending over $500 on wheels, so I may settle for this fifth set.
