Ok, this is what the truck looked like when we took title to it 3 weeks ago. As you can see from the pics below, the right tires make a big difference. The truck only sits 2 inches higher but it looks a lot more agressive with the wheelwells filled.

LT285/75R16 tires from Dayton Tires were installed on the stock wheels. Cost was $110 each mounted/balanced. 5 including the spare were purchased. These tires aren't extremely agressive but are agressive enough for most terrain. Click the image for a larger pic.

Modifying the truck from stock was not needed and the tires don't rub at
 either extremes - steering or suspension. The torsion bars weren't even tweaked at all. Click the image for a larger/better picture.

A bug deflector has been purchased and installation is planned for tomorrow. Pictures of bug deflector and installation will be posted some other time.  Additionally, a CD-changer has been installed in the truck and pictures of that installation were taken and will be posted at a later time.
