265 or 285?

2” OME lift? Full Dakars? What is your rim offset and what UCAs?

 

2" OME lift with what ever replacement leaf springs they came with (not an add a leaf). -10 offset on the wheels. Stock UCA's

Truck has been lifted for about 9K miles, tires wearing even.

 

Any driveline vibes? Especially in the 30-40mph range?

 

Do you wheel it? Hows it at full stuff. Hows it with airing down? Any pics offroading? Hmmmm

 

This. Could be 265. I have 265 on my truck, but the wheels make them look bigger:

 

Nope. I did have the ecgs bearing installed as a preventative measure with the lift though.

 

I did too but still have a small vibe 37-40mph and cannot figure it out...oh well

 

Nope I don't wheel it and won't for a while. Too new of a truck for me to start breaking stuff on, at least intentionally. Maybe when its three or four years old. I will need to flex it one of these days maybe when heading out camping or to the lake this summer. I keep it at 36 psi .

 

That’s what I will also be going with after the factory 245’s wear out, have almost 28k on them and still a lot of tread left, so who knows when?

 

No trail riding? Why did you buy a truck?

 

265/75’s are solid I have put mine through the test with full articulation and 3 wheels on the ground

 

Have you tried putting the stock wheels and tires on to see if it goes away? Could be a balancing issue.

 

Yah even had them rotated. Going to check all my brakes soon

 

At that point it might be a bad CV axle. I remember back when I was playing around with racing fwd racing cars and lowering them sometimes resulted in vibration even on newer axles. Just running them in a position they were not meant to run in normally. Good luck!

 

Really?

Ummm. Because I could. Because I use the bed. Because I like modding it. etc. etc.

I travel a lot and don't find the time nowadays for trails. I've had all three gens over the years and have done plenty of offroading in the past.

 

Hold on, so with no lift and a 0 offset wheel, you didn't have to the CMC?

 

265,too much rubbing and modifications with 285 tires

 

I have 255/80/17 on mine.they gave me almost 2 inch's of lift and no rubbing anywhere even with the mudflaps on

 

Still have the 285's on my truck....they performed great playing offroad in the mountains this weekend as long as your locked in with the ECT engaged. They didn't perform so well towing a small load or fully loaded through the hills and valleys; very frustrating to drive. Its been an issue with this model year of truck for me.
Anyways, I didn't pay to much attention to the gear ratio when I bought the truck but now Im considering replacing the gears if I'm going to run the 33's. Anyone here swap gears to 4.88 or 4.56(can't find a manufacturer for that ratio).
