yeah, they're a really aggressive looking tire, i love them. you coulda fit 31's under there just fine, no rubbing at all with a tt+shack. but yeah lookin good, it changes the apearance so much, i couldnt stop looking at mine when i got the tires on.
oh, you know about the holes under the running boards right? that's the only thing keeping me from takin them off. you can cover them with something like a rhino lining or some plugs i've heard but i havent gotten around to it yet.
looks like u lean a bit to the drivers side too huh, im about to swap my leafs soon.
oh, no, my X's levelled. it's the ground that's not levelled. right side by the curb is higher. i finally got rid of my running boards this afternoon. i'll take some pics tomorrow.

yeah I cranked the T-bars for Now.. I will invest in a set of Spindles in the future... My mounty is a 2wd V-8 though for some reason I see it becoming a 4x4 in the Future just like all the other 2wd I purchased.
