more weight=less MPG, by the way

 

Yep. Guess I cant have my cake and eat it too.

 

St maxx... ive now put about 7k on my tires and they preform very well... sand mud rocks... only thing I have yet to drive in is snow... but I still hear great things... i think there are like 4 or 5 maybe even 6 of us who run the coopers and my truck is a daily as well as the others

 

I'm getting 17.7 mpg currently on my duratracs 265/70-17

 

aww really? that will be my Spring mod. I already ordered a bed cage. RTT coming soon too

 

So tires first or skids?

 

Nitto FTW.

 

Cool any recommendations on sliders I don't and can't weld for shit (tried once) know that those are preferred over bolt on but if there's a decent bolt on option id go that route.

 

Which nittos homer? I had trail grapplers those were nasty aggressive

 

its the BAMF low profile cage. 13" from the bed, so below the roof.

 

driving in my truck with MTs, is like sitting in a vibrating chair

 

I have Trails but my truck is not a DD. When it was my DD I had the terra grapplers and they performed awesome.
Great on the street and did well off-road.
I wheeled Moab on my Terra's.
Not easy shit either - Kane Creek & Hells Revenge.

 

Thanks man!

 

I thought the nitto trails would be that way but to me they are just as loud as any set of BFG AT's.
The trails are surprisingly quiet for as aggressive as the tread is.

 

I dont have Nittos. I have Maxxis Bighorn MT. Very loud. Not great for DD. But I drive 3 miles to work, so its tolerable for now.

I have some ST Maxx's lined up for next month

 

I'd do tires, sliders, and IFS skid in any order first. They all have importance depending on terrain. Consider them being first 3 mods. If your running fire roads, frenchies, pines.. I'd say tires first for better traction. If trails your running are more rocky or of camber sliders and IFS are better protection to prevent damage to the truck. Don't need every skid unless going to an off road park. If you plan on lifting the truck, I'd wait on tires cuz you'll want to go bigger that can fit on stock suspension.

I DD my truck but don't follow MPGs. Im on my 2nd set of 255/80/17 Cooper ST Maxxs, they are rated all terrains and great in every situation I've been in. They are E rated but being a "skinny" 33 (10.5 wide) helps over 285s with MPGs. Consider the size you want as well.. I think the Maxxs come in a D rating possibly C in the smaller sizes.. not sure.

Good Luck

 

Thanks for the detail I think tires first for sure based on that then sliders and skids. Now what tires that won't kill my mpg but won't suck off road either
