I've had the tires sitting here for 2 weeks and finally got time to drop the truck off Tuesday morning (I dropped the tires off Monday afternoon).
Took a bunch of pics of the tires....
You can see they are slightly shorter, and wider than the 40/15.50R20 Toyos

You can see the ridges on the tread blocks. This is a technology used in skid steer and tractor tires as well. Helps to prevent the tread from getting packed with mud and helps the tires self clean better.

Of course, the "DC" over the shoulder lug was a big plus for my truck

As you can see....I'm back to having a little better tire clearance:

I think that they give the truck a more aggressive look:

And probably one of the only times I'll ever have both trucks at the shop at the same time:

So far I am very pleased and very impressed with them. They balanced out quite well....2.75-6.0 oz per tire. They are probably the best riding tire that I've ran so far. They ride very nice and smooth. They are also fairly quiet for a Mud Tire, can barely hear them with the windows down once I get past 50mph. So far I'm loving the tires.
Of course, it started to rain once I left the tire place....so I'll get some better pics once I get a chance to clean the truck up.
And here’s a photoshop that Bear Hunter did for me:

I’ve put a couple hundred miles on them over the week. Definitely, the best riding large mud tire that I have ran to date (I’ve ran 38” PJs, 38” Toyos, and 40” Toyos).
The tire place had them all at 50 psi and it rode great and actually had even tread contact. This morning I aired the fronts down to 45 psi and the rears down to 40 psi…..now the ride is amazing.
Not the quietest mud tire due to their aggressive tread design, but the quietest and smoothest riding that I’ve ran or ridden in so far.
