I intended on just getting some larger A/T tires because we no longer use our truck for cross country driving. It's mainly, camping, hunting, fishing and any other outdoor activity you can think of in Minnesota (in the snow too...)
ANYWAY....

Due to an issue with my desired tires (Goodyear Wrangler Duratecs 265/60/r18) not fitting properly, I started looking into spacers, then I browsed through the build threads here and BAM! I'm thinking...I wanna do that!

My brother does some off-roading, although he's a jeep guy. And, he's been trying to get me into it...so here's my chance.
I promise to do my best and research things before-hand, but I know that sometimes my search skills are lacking.
I would also like to team up with a local off-roader in Minnesota for a beer and advice.
