    A bigger tire will throw the speedo off, but you can adjust for it (up to a ~33" tall tire) with the STAR diagnostic computer. I'm running 35" Toyo MT's on the OE 18" wheels on my '02. When my truck is showing 60mph I'm actually doing 70mph. It really isn't a big deal once you get used to it.

    I haven't made any adjustments to my ECU/TCU and I do get some ESP weirdness from time to time. That is probably due to the sidewall height on my tires more than the overall tire height. I get a ton more sidewall flex in a corner than I did even with the OE Geolandars and if I don't have light pressure on the brake pedal the yaw sensor tells the truck to start braking and kills the throttle momentarily.
    That may be what Brabus' recommendation comes from.
    wait......what?

    Time for the finishing touches. I wanted to paint the calipers a lamborghini orange. Cant tell if it's a gloss or a flat finish. Am I wrong thinking that flat would get dirtier easier and much harder to clean. See pics below. Flat or gloss?

    Lamborghini orange! These guys did a great job. PAC customs in Miami. Will get both cars shot and post some pics. I wish there was a way to lower this beast.

    I will put in a pioneer stereo system and that should be it. As you know... This is turning into an addiction. I just need to cut it out.
