    you would think, but I see plenty of lifts without bigger tires. Maybe its just because I live in LA, where people just lift their trucks for looks. Though I would guess most people probably lift first, then save up the rest of the money for the bigger wheels later. It can get expensive doing both at the same time.

    I did not do this, but it would have been a good idea. If you have a multi-meter, you can follow the steps here:
    https://axleaddict.com/auto-repair/check-a-car-battery

    Most autoparts stores will also have equipment to test your battery and charging system, and will do so for free.

    I just tried this on my new battery. The old battery measured 12.8v under no load, I didn't take a load test reading before turning it in for the core deposit. The Northstar is 13.3v under no load, vehicle off. With my 80w headlights on it drops to 12.9v. Needless to say it is far an above the 12.5v good rating, even with the increased load from over wattage headlights and under load still has a better rating than my old failing battery did at rest.

    The upper washer may squeak since it’s metal on metal rubbing. I did the same thing when installing and shortly removed the top washer.

    I’ll keep an ear on it. Probably won’t notice it since my truck squeaks everywhere already.
