America"s Tire Store (Discount Tire) always carries the particular tire that I want and at the best price, therefore I always buy from them.

I'm heading to my local Discount Tire this Saturday morning to get the Cooper Road+Trail 265/65/18 put on, after having the Bilstein 5100's installed last week.
I found a lower price online for the Coopers and Discount Tire matched it, saving me almost $100.
I'm kinda excited for the final product!

That's a real solid balance with the ride height setting and tire size! I'm getting my 5100's installed tomorrow as well as new Method 701s and 275/70r17 Falken Wildpeak AT4's. Seeing your truck makes more confident that the 1.8in setting is where I need to be.

I had a good experience when I replaced the tires on the ranger. I need to stop in the bronco an see if they can pair the tpms sensors in the take off wheels I bought to the bronco.

I did A LOT of research on this site about the tires and at what level to set the Bilsteins. After seeing the truck set at 1.8 I was a little hesitant to keep it there. But after I had the old Hankooks removed and the larger tires put on, I'm happy with it. I'm really pleased with how the truck feels more planted with much less body roll and nose diving. Feels like it took a few days for the Bilsteins to settle in. I have yet to bring the headlights and fog lights down. Other folks on the road will be super pleased when I get that done.
All said I'm really happy with the performance and the stance.
Post a pic of yours after you get it done.

Well, here it is! I'm loving the look with it at 1.8in. The 5100s ride amazing compared to the FX4 shocks. My only concern is I'm scrubbing a bit at full lock on the fender liners with the crash bars removed, and I'm not sure if the low profile ones I purchased will clear with the 275s.

its rare that discount is not the best price. but they price matched my coopers recently too. they also offer vets discount and a dtc credit card special payment thing no interest.
I always use the vet discount when buying big ticket items, 10% at Home Depot has saved me a lot of cash. And the 5% at DCT on $1200 was nothing to sneeze at.

Lowe's will also give 10% to veterans if you sign up ahead of time. I brought all of my kitchen appliances there during a remodel and saved quite a bit.

Yep, we bought $7K of kitchen cabinets, sinks, and counter tops at Lowe’s using the vet discount. Got a love it!
