    I’ve never had a problem with them before so idk why they decided to get picky this one time. It was a newer younger guy this time but I was still bullshitting with the techs in the back since I knew a few of them. Oh well. They are now on and look good

    I’m afraid I’m going to have to end up doing some cutting as well. The Ko2s seem to be bigger than my Kos.

    One question though.

    I’m assuming your older Ko2s where load E as well as BFG decided to forget about the millions of smaller size trucks running 16s. But how do your 265 load E ride compared to the 285 Es? I would think that the 265 E would be super harsh since there’s less sidewall.

    Thanks. Got some zone stuff instead. About the same price with a 3 year warranty on the rotors and a lifetime :confused: warranty on the pads. Figure a big change wouldn't happen unless doing the Tundra swap.

    Since you have an 02 (w/ tilt column I assume), follow post 42 instead of post 1, if you have a welder you can finish the job in 30mins rather than 2-3 hrs. For 97 & older or with no tilt you have to take everything apart like in post 1.

    Took me about 1.5 hrs from start to finish which included driving to 2 different welding shops. I have a cheap flux core welder that someone gave me but I'm not a welder so I just payed $10 to have it tacked. I was so happy I drove back to the welder & brought him a 6-pack for tig welding it (mig is perfectly fine) & for doing it right away.

    Yeah, I know. But they share the same ground point. I'm glad it didn't turn out to be a wiring issue!
