OFFICIAL - 3rd GEN 275/70r17 Tire Thread

It's looking like I lost around 3 mpg

 

Perfect stance! Did you get a full 2" in the front?

 

Thanks. Yes. Got full 2 inches in the front.

 

Here they are.

Couple things that happened today that I should report.

1) Dealer ordered the tires in, so they only had my four. Turns out 2 of the brand new BFG All Terrain KO2's were square. It was so bad that their tire machine told them to put weight from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock on one tire. They were only going to replace the one tire, I asked to see the truck and there was another tire that balanced but I would say was outside the reasonable amount of balance weight. Anyway, my dealer order 4 more tires rush, took the best 4, and hopefully sent the other 4 back. BFG quality control slipping a little? I'm not sure, but I didn't even balance my last set. Just something for others to be aware of. Could have been a bad batch, what do I know?

2) I have slight rub on turns that involve a bump or cut down curb. No big deal, levelling kit will sort this out. I figured I'd need it, and I wanted it, will order from Toytec on Monday.

Aside from that, I'm pretty happy. Tires are smooth and quiet, exactly the way I remember them from my old truck.

Horsepower is up min 50-60, and now that my 50" TV isn't classified as big anymore, these have more than made up for my physical shortcomings.

HAPPY TRAILS

 

Love it!! Gas mileage go down a lot? How's the ride with the E rated tires and the Boss lift?

 

Thanks! Gas mileage is only down 1-2 mpg. Rides better than stock even with the E rated tires. Acceleration slightly affected but it wasn't a race car to begin with. I'm very happy with the set up.

 

What about the ride going over bumbs?

 

How many inches did you gain? Mpg ?

 

I got 2 inches of lift. Getting about 1-2 mpg less but totally worth it!

 

275/70R17 or 265/70R17 on a 2012 DCSB with a 2.5" lift? Would like to go 275's but don't know if they will rub on Camburg Moog Ball UCA's with TRD SEMA Pro wheels.

 

Is the rear sitting at stock height? this is exactly how I want mine to look, great looking truck man!

 

Thanks man. Yeah totally stock in the rear. I have the ever so slightest "bro lean" but it doesn't bother me. I may dial down the coils just a hair so it is closer to level but for now I'm really liking the setup.

 

I completed the levelling kit today.

I officially no longer have any rub in the front end.

Truck is sitting just about perfect level, install was pretty painless. Could have been a lot worse, and for anyone considering the Toytec 3/4" spacers on the front end for level, shoot me a message and I can let you know what I did to avoid the unnecessary extra work. I found the install instructions on Toytec's website relatively confusing, I ended up reading them to familiarize, but didn't use them for the install.

 

Nice, got any pics?

 

3/4in was enough height to stop the rubbing?

 

Yup, I repeated to the best (and worst) of my ability all the things that caused the rubbing, and I haven't been able to get it to rub again. It was exactly the result what I was hoping for.

Photos soon. I'm in Chicago all week, will try and snap some photos when I get home. It looks good though, real good.

 

No lift in those pics though....

 

who cares you truck is bad ass!

 

Hahaha! Thanks pal!!
