Congratulations! That looks like an awesome and clean rig! Factory lockers and only 140k on it too.
I'm with the other guys on tires. If you current tires are bald, I'd go 285s. You'll gain some ground clearance, won't loose too much acceleration and they will look a lot better too.

Too late! I already ordered the OME 2.5" lift from Slee yesterday, and the 315 tires this morning. I thought the 2.5" lift would be considered a fairly mild upgrade.
I researched that particular lift/tire combo quite a bit while I was shopping for my Cruiser. These two threads in particular:
A few examples of 2.5" lift and 315/75/16 tire combo.
Ultimately I just didn't want to have to buy everything twice. I knew I wanted an ARB bumper. I knew the truck needed new tires. And I knew I wanted a small lift. I thought it was better to just get the truck dialed in exactly the way I wanted it, rather than buy new 285 tires, and wish I had upgraded when I had the opportunity.
