Got the 4th wheel this morning and got it done. Had to do some pulling and twisting on the bumper on the drivers side cause it was tweaked and rubbing really bad. I guess I'm going to crank the torsion bars up a 1/2" or so and do some slight trimming to the bumper before I can really test out the new tires. But I can report that they ride pretty darn smooth with a very slight hum. And they look a lot more aggressive in person.
Me and my truck.

What offset rim is that? Does it rub?

+18 and it wouldn't rub at all I'd my front bumper wasn't tweaked on one side. I got it pulled out some and now it only rubs when I turn to the right and go over a bump. I'm going to trim just a little on the bumper to cure that.

Looks awesome! I think mine are negative, I think negative goes farther away from the truck and positive is more in, do you know? Lol

Yes you are correct if i understand you right. Negative offset would be with the face of the wheel closer to the rear of the wheel and positive moving it closer to the outside edge of the wheel.
Today I replaced the leaky radiator with a new lifetime warranty one from Oriellys. While I was at it I went ahead and installed a the biggest transmission cooler they had. It was a Hayden and it fit pretty good in the stock location using the stock mounting holes and nothing to cut, not even the factory lines. Here are pics from the install. If anyone wants more details feel free to ask.
Pulled front end apart which as we all know is pretty easy. Notice the puny factory Transmission cooler mounted in the front middle.
Old radiator out
New vs Old. I was impressed to see that this radiator came with all new fittings, retainers, hose clamps, and mount bushings.
Old Transmission cooler removed.
New one mounted to factory holes using zip ties pulled really tight.
I used some spare rubber hose on the bottom for a little protection and makes it a nice snug fit between the original brace and the condenser.
Here is the cooler all done. The hose that came with it said it was 3" bend minimum so I went this route with loops because the factory trans cooler hard lines are at a higher point than the new coolers outlets, but the line up almost perfect. Later when im back in there adding a small electric fan I will cut the hard lines shorter and reflare. Then I will plump it to the cooler with a couple 3" peices of hose to eliminate the loops.
