    Curious to hear how you like those after you get it all done. Let us know how the performance (acceleration/handling) changes, and what it takes to get it to not rub. And please share your alignment numbers when all is said and done, too.

    I'll be testing them this weekend and will give a run down. The alignment was excellent after the control arm addition. I'll post some lift numbers too tomorrow.

    That's very strange. ctfriel, let us know whether yours are the same. I've already got the 31" version of the same tire, so I'm really only interested in upgrading if there's a significant size gain, and 1" difference isn't much. :/

    Just keep throwin' money at it.
    I was reading through your post on mounting the Engel and I wanted to see if you could help me with an answer. I have an Engel posi-lock plug on my old Norcold and wanted to find a female plug to match it. Are you using this ARB (
    $15 ARB 10900028 Threaded Socket/Surface Mount Outlet
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NIOBC0C/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3LGJ9ZB5RSN9T) plug? The 10900028 Threaded Socket/Surface Mount Outlet? I have found several posts online, here and on Expo that allude to them working together, but no one has said yes or no. Just looking for some clarity.

    Mine under full load (see pic) measure out at 32-3/8". I didn't expect them to measure 34". What does your 31" KO2 measure?

    What I liked was the D load range. I also wanted a 265 (10.50) width.

    I'll compare them to @Inferno_Taco 285/70r17s this weekend.

    I went the simple way and just wired up a waterproof 12-v socket and mounted it to the bed. I'll post a pic later today.

    I agree. I also like the tall skinny look. Less rolling resistance and no rubbing anywhere.

    really only reason it sucks is when i put my lockers in I went to 4:88 for the different uses of the truck, the closer to 34 would have helped
