Thanks guys. I have no idea when I'm going to find the time to get them and my lift kit installed. I'm working 6 days a week right now, with no signs of slowing down so its going to be a waiting game . . .
looks as if they might rub a bit... just a bit... lol naw they look really good! gunna look nice with a lift! I had to look at the back twice. looked like the axle was bent or something with the wheel leaning against the back of the truck...

So I had the new wheel & tire package installed today, and it was a pain in the butt overall. The wheels didn't fit and rubbed when I turned the wheel. But the truck is stock height, and the rear fit well so I proceeded to crack the T-Bars.
I must have cranked, decranked, cranked, decranked, over and over about 10 times. Every-time I tried something, something else when wrong.
First was the inability to turn. So I cranked the bars all the way up (38 inches off the ground). (Looked awesome BTW) The wheels cleared with no problem, so I started to lower the bars by an inch. Then the began rubbing on the front lower fairing. So I trimmed the fairing and thought that would be enough. But then it began rubbing near the bottom rear portion of the inner fender.
I began trimming the inner fender/fender flares. This is where it got weird. Everytime I jacked up the truck, took it on a test ride to settle the ride, the more it rubbed (Never the same area BTW).
I must have spent 7 hours cranking and decranking. I finally settled on 37.5 inches in the rear, and 37.25 inches in the front. What a pain the butt this project was . . . no bueno.
(In the picture, my rear is sitting at 37.5 inches in the rear, and 36 inches in the front)
