Those are Cooper Discovery ST MAXX @ 265/70R/17, they are the best of both worlds for Colorado style conditions. Really Wanted to try a 275 in there but they don't make that size.

I agree, had been looking for a decent nerf bar setup for a min as well, was gonna try and weld my own ( just need to get hold of some welding equip and teach myself how...) I decided the Lund universal fit 87" would to do the trick. They don't really cover fully wheel to wheel, but still think itl be functional as a step for riders and hopefully helpful in loading the front of safari rack. It has some rubber pads on the top that I plan to remove prior to the lineXing. Still waiting on the mounting kit (my best guess) will document any/all mods necessary for a solid install.

Which lift kit did you go with?
Or is it a homebrew?

Boulder Offroad Vans is close to me, so they did the lift I also had them add the rear handling kit as well.

I am looking at rear sway bars for the 1500 and wondered how you like the handling? Do you know what brand it is or the diameter? Thanks for keeping us up to date on your progress.......
86cj, not sure what brand the sway bar is I can find out tomorrow, as listed the BORV Rear handling kit is for vans with 0 – 2" lift. Includes rear sway bar, end links, and Bilstein shocks. Love the handling!! i feel it has great road manners especially dealing with heavy spring snow that we got last Sat it was super stable going over a very snow and icy loveland pass I attribute this to the rear handling kit and those ST Maxx tires.
Update: it's a hellwig rear kit they used for the rear handling kit.
