Sonofabitch.....

I might have even leveled the damn thing!!!

Come on gravity, dont fail me now, I need rake!

 

Before and after pics
885 springs


887 springs


Just a slight rake, truck drives and rides very smooth, extremely happy with the outcome.

I think I'm finally done with the mods

 

With that extra space you might as well get some bigger shoes for her.

 

I've got about 10k left on these tires, on the fence about bigger tires but I'll admit I've been looking.

 

I would congratulate you...but I feel like I can save the congrats for later. It'll go something like this ... "congrats on the 888 purchase!" Lolol

 

LOL.... God I hope not.

 

I'm going with the 888s just so I don't wonder what it coulda been. Haha

 

Needs tint on those fronts and windshield, then you’re done with mods....for now.

 

What was the lift height difference between the springs? How's he ride with those SPCs?

 

Looks great. I like the 265/70s you have.

 

If I knew then what I know now... I would have left the 265's on mine and not gone to the 285's.

The 285's look great on mine, but really hinder it's performance. Not nearly as spunky as it was with the 265's.

If you decide to go with 285's, shop around for the lightest ones you can find. I went with Coopers from Pep Boys because they were cheap.

 

33" pizza cutters are in the future for me for this exact reason! Don't need the added width for surface space

 

I would have considered the 255/85's but didn't like the narrow profile.

I imagine the reason they are popular is moreso because they weigh less than the wider 285/75's... not somuch because of rolling resistance.

 

Yep, been thinking of that too but I dont want it to be too "limo" like.

 

285 Nitto TG in C load weigh 45lbs, I'm already running that tire in 265, those are 42 lbs.

I'd also like a 255/80 tire but they're so damn heavy and selection is poor.

 

Waiting for the 887 to settle more but I'm guessing a 1/2 inch in height increase.

The UCAs are REALLY nice, truck is a soft ride but still feels very precise in handling. Alignment is definitely a lot better than before.

 

Just match the back to the front. Go 50/75 on the windshield. I went 50 ceramic on my windshield and 20 ceramic on the sides. Matches nicely and really helps to keep the heat down.

 

May have missed it. What do you have in the back? Dakkar leaf pack? If so medi or heavy?

 

Neither, 3 leaf AAL with the overload in.
