Decided to stick with 18's to save money and 35's since the people at 4wp said 37's would rub like crazy. I still think there is enough room to fit, but they are the professionals.

Looks good. It looks like you could put 37's on it. My 35's don't rub with a 3.5inch leveling lift. Your front right tire is on backwards as the Extreme AT's are directional.

EDIT: just checked the tires and your right. I wish they would have told me that when I bought them.

Looks good. Starting to like the look of black rims. Good looking set up that you have there.

I have dropped my rear tire pressure to 38lbs, and I still seeing the dirt in the mddle of the tread. There is about 1" clean tire on each side of the tread. Is there any reason why I should not drop it lower to get even wear?

You can put a chaulk line across the face of the tire then see if it wears off evenly to check tire pressure too. I have been down to 35 in the rear and 45 in the front but mileage will suffer compared to 50-60lbs. When I pull the trailer I go 70 in the rear and 65 front.

I know that it needs to be lowered if its going to wear evenly, but I wasnt sure if the weight of the truck itself made it an issue. I pull a trailor maybe twice a year and usually its no bigger than a 12-16' double axle.
