Re: 13.50's or 15.50's?
Ok I'll truant c but I'm doing this from my phone so I sill have to wait till tomorrow. As for the lift its a 6" but actually raised it almost 8". I was reluctant to put the 40"s on it cause so many people on here say u have to regear with those and even 38". I was scared cause I even pull a trailer that prob weighs 4000 lbs. Like I Sao it's not a race truck but I do just fine on stock gears with my 40"s so don't let thy determine wether u get them or not. 40"s look way better in my opinion... With the 12" wheel and my big offset with the 15.5 wide tire it makes this thing very very wide. I love the look. The width of tires just matches the width of the body. Some People would hate this but my tires stick out prob 3-4" outside of body. Very aggressive look.

Re: 13.50's or 15.50's?
See I love that aggressive look, and I will say there's nothing like a 40" Toyo..soooo awesome to see in person. I just don't want the truck to be so overwhelming large that it becomes a toy instead of a daily driver. Because it is my daily. I get in to parking spaces perfectly fine now and I personally don't think a lift will hurt it that much, I know parking decks will be an issue as there are only a few that allow that much height. And I also am running a 20X10, I wish the wheel was deeper but BMF only goes to a 10.5 in width. So you add all that up and it's gonna be a 6,000+ upgrade to do all this. What were your figures on your upgrade?

Re: 13.50's or 15.50's?
Mine is a daily as well but I do have two other trucks if needed. The truck is big no doubt, it's big from factory. With the lift and wheels I get around fine. Parking is tight but we have no garages here where we live so height is not an issue. My windshield sets about the top of my garage door on my house. Lol I bought my bds for like $2500 I think.... And I got steal on my wheels. Bought em new for $700!! Tires I bought used to see I I wanted to buy new 40" or go with a 38" but after driving on these 40"s now for a month, I'm buying these new and I believe I can get them for around $2100

Re: 13.50's or 15.50's?
Stop all this writing about 40's not being that bad. I really don't want to read it anymore. Haha
Like I said, my truck drives so well right now that I don't want to mess that up. Being able to legitimately accelerate into traffic is nice for driving around town and the highway, with "decent" MPG to boot. Sounds like 40's are very doable, though, if you aren't using this as a daily driver. As stated earlier, if I ever get a third car for putting miles on, I might consider 40's.
Then again, I also just might get the thing in my avatar.

Re: 13.50's or 15.50's?
What is your mpg right now currently? I'm just curious..I bet your truck sounds awesome too with those headers and exhaust. I wish I could see a lifted H2 up close in person to really get an idea of how big they are..but its so hard to find someone that has one! I've seen one lifted H2 before but I really think it was higher than a 6", too large. But it was awesome. Would love to see both of your rigs in person.

Re: 13.50's or 15.50's?
Mines a daily and it's bot bad at allsriving around in town. I can accelerate just as fast as anyone else and I have stock gears! Would I like to get 4.88s, yes no doubt but until I can find someone reputable to do I I'll wait. Considering it drives jut fine now, I'm in no rush. I get 9.5! Lol but then again I do mostly town driving an pulling my trailer.... I also have am engine light on and believe it's a knock sensor... Maybe so that would affect it some to but then again I bought a hummer. I didn't hav high hopes for getting good mpg. Lol

Re: 13.50's or 15.50's?
Hey I'm getting 11.0 with 35's! I was thinking you'd be around high 7's and low to mid 8's..9.5 really isn't that bad considering you have 40 inch tires!
