It's a completely stock 08 and I am looking at upgrading the Rims and Tires, I am pretty much in love with Rustin's (I think that is screen name) truck; if you are not familiar with it I have attached a picture.

1) I already have the rims picked out, what lug nut pattern do we have? 8 x 170?

2) What is a QUALITY leveling kit (or 2" lift kit)? I have tried to do some searching but with me being stuck with the military servers :rant I get a lot of errors and dead links. I don't want the cheapest if it is going to sacrifice anything (turning, ride comfort, quality, etc).

3) I am looking at the Mickey Thompson ATZ in LT305/70R18 (refer to Rustin's truck) OR LT325/65R18. On their website the second tire is on the Specialty Light Truck tire list and wondering what advantages/disadvantages either one has over the other. On their website is says that:
Specialty Light Truck Size (SLT) Features 3-Ply (Power Ply™) Sidewall and 6-Ply Tread for Added Strength and Puncture Resistance.

But I don’t know what that means. Anybody want to break that down for me? :)
