Well my truck sat really low in the front.
I measued from the ground, directly over the axle's hub area, to the bottom
lip of the fender flare. The front was about 3" lower than the rear.
I cranked the tbars to better level the out the truck's stance. The front
end is now about 1" lower than the rear. It looks so much better.
I will take some pics and try out photobucket.com

>>Well I knew I wanted to, and had to get some tires today.
>>
>>I spent 4+ hours on the phone, calling tire shops in two states and 4
>>counties. I also spent about 30 minutes cranking up the tbars a tad, to
>>more level out the truck. The front of the truck now sits 1" lower than
>>the rear.........which is alot better than the front sitting 3" lower than
>>the rear (stock settings)!
>>
>>For those that did not know, I already bought 4 of the Pro Comp Series
>>8089 wheels in the 17X8 size, with 4.5" of backspacing. SWEET rims!
>>Brushed chrome lugs nuts and center caps.
>>
>>I was contemplating stepping up to the 275/70R17 size, but NO ONE carried
>>this size, and they were a ton more than what I really wanted to spend.
>>
>>I ended up with the Yokohama Geolander A/T+II, in the 265/70R17 size. I
>>have them place the balance weights on the inside of the rims and had the
>>white lettering turned in, so all you see is ALL BLACK!
>>
>>This sized tire is 31.9" x 10.8". They also came with a 30 day, no
>>questions asked, return policy. I also paid $20 (for all 4 tires) and had
>>them siped, for additional traction.
>>
>>After the tires and wheels were mounted, I was in love on how GREAT the
>>combo looked. I was glad I did not step up to the taller 275/70R17 sized
>>tire, as the 265s looks great on the truck. The 4.5" of backspacing on the
>>Pro Comp rims also gives the truck a very nice stance.
>>
>>I am going to call around and get a front end alignment sometime this
>>week.
