Update:

Still riding on the same wheels.
No vibrations..

I gave up on the aftermarket TPMS tho. They go out and a ***** to replace.

2 set of tires have worn by now.. I'm ready to get a 3 set.

so going from OEM to 40 series tires.. ride is a bit harder.. but not that bad. I found that my rear shocks were bad and changing it out made a huge difference in the ride quality all together.

Also just a side note.
since I got the truck almost 6 years ago. I had changed all the air suspension springs. 3 of them by CPO and 1 by me.. also 2 rear shocks by me.

Uh oh, you're scaring me. What aftermarket TPMS did you get?!? I bought the Siemens from OE Wheel Distributors.

Nice looking ride, by the way. Is the color the silver or tan?

Nice! I'm about to do wheels any day now! I'm definitely doing a 5 star wheel, and have been racking my brain on which to do.

What size tires are those in the photos?

rims sizes, etc?

Cost on those reps?
