Well dang it! I could have gone to Stevinson West. So if I go to Stevinson, how do I end up asking for this dude?

 

Just fill up the bed with cases of beer and it will magically occur.

 

Nice to know, I've been going to mountain states too.

 

You are the man. Just got a call from Mountain States, and they need to keep it for 2 weeks?!?!

• They need to weld the brace to the hood and get it repainted since it was fluttering/ flexing. For my welder peeps out here, is it common for welding spots to fail this easily?
• Transmission fluid was low...What the heck?
• Sensor in the rear went bad?

I am wondering if @lotsoftoys and @thefatkid have seen these types of issues on 3rd gens....hmm.

Now I am stuck in a Dodge Dart for two weeks!

 

damn FedEx package sat in Henderson, Co. all day yesterday.
Now it's on it's way to Pueblo.....

 

Alright, now that I have my lift (or half of it) installed it's time to think about new tires... I was pretty set on going with the Cooper ST Maxx's (the AT) in a 255/85/16 so I could keep my stock wheels and fit 33's without trimming. But then Jake made some convincing arguments for 285's and wheel spacers... thoughts? Has anyone had any experience running that tire or 255's? This is the article I read that originally lead me towards the 255's: http://www.expeditionswest.com/research/white_papers/tire_selection_rev1.html

 

I'm a noob so I don't know how to post pictures on here. If you can explain it to me, I'll put a pic or two up of my truck. I have 285/75/16 with a 3 inch Toytec lift. I had those tires on stock wheels with minor, infrequent rubbing (I believe due to an improper alignment). I then got MB TKO's, and don't need spacers at all.

 

two ways, click on the picture icon (little box with a sun and mountain next to the smilie) or down in the lower left next to post repoly and more options it says upload a file. if you upload you have to then insert as a thumbnail or as a full image

 

don't know why it came out so small

 

Ah, thanks! I'll post some in a bit when I have a few minutes! Thanks!

 

So what Back Spacing you have on the MB TKO's? If you have more than stock, your wheel is doing the "spacing"

 

Yeahh...I'm not sure. I'm also a noob to modifying this baby, even though I've had it for 3 years. For all of those fancy little details I would need to look them up.

 

maybe too much to drink??

 

In my professional medical opinion, you should probably apply some ice for that burn

 

If you can tell us which wheels you have I'm pretty sure we'll know what the back spacing is.

 

@CC33

I thought I had one with the new wheels that showed them head on but I don't at the moment. But they stick out past the body about half an inch or so without spacers. I think it looks way better, plus gave the tires more room.

 

They're the MB TKO'S.
