After almost two months of collecting dust, my tires (33/12.5-15 Firestone Destination MT) are finally on.

well, they've only been on for a few hours so the jury is still out. But initial impressions (street only) is that rubbing is very, very minimal (with ATS upper a-arms). I hope to spend some time looking at the rubbing tonight after work.

It's not as bad as it looks. The pics were taken in a little pull-off spot along side the road. I'm parked up on a small embankment, so the suspension is flexed a tad.

But regardless, a 1" BL is probably not far away.

Looks like you could use an alignment too. You should do that before you put too much uneven wear on those nice new muds. I think I'm going to have to do the Firestone lifetime alignment the next time I need one.

Nope. Had my dealer do it. I have a very good relationship with them and they know how I use my truck. The service manager and I are cool, so he cuts me a lot of slack with such things.

Yea, I looked at the pic for a while too. Everything looks good in person as I had an alignment done after the control arms were installed. Just something optically strange going on with that pic.
