Aftermath: Tires mounted, truck drives super nice.
I believe I could've mounted 265/70R16s EASILY, and gain 2" of ground contact, as there's plenty of space around the wheels in all directions...
After mounting the 245/75s seems like I could have gone with the 265/70s without an issue - still plenty of space around the tires in the well, both forward and rear.. I guess the top plates/rear isos make a change. Bummer as I could've gained 2"+ inch of ground contact and a more aggressive stance.

Worth switching my P-metric Hankook Dynapros to those?
I see.. bummer from their website seems only available in load C for
LT265/70R17C and LT265/75R16C sizes which won't help me.
I think in general 245/75R16 size options are either P or LT load E, so I think I'll stay with my Hankook dynapro P metrics as I feel a 10 ply is an overkill for the...
Question:
Is is possible to replace the sway bar bushings by just removing/reassembling the bushing mounts and pressing in the new bushings in OR the sway bar end links must be removed as well for removing the whole sway bar from the truck to complete the replacement procedure?
Thanks for this ultra useful link/manuals!
The engine skid pg 590 also lists a left/right bracket (52128544AA) which I believe I am not gonna get in the mail.. Do I need to buy these as well to successfully mount it? left/right?

Also do you...
Yea, I'd love to understand whats the mounting hardware items list I need (+count) for mounting those 3 skids correctly. I don't mind buying those rivets from you.
