Leveled first gens with 33s?!

Actually as far east in VA as you can go without swimming

 

3500 Dang! Rarely do I ever go over 2500 and I'm in the mountains! Lol

 

Well, yeah, that's what I was saying too... Or trying to. Ha. 95% of my driving is below 2500. Other 5% is like if I'm trying to pass someone and gotta be quick. Or when I pull out onto the street and gotta be quick. My main road from home is 65mph. 1 lane. Lots of traffic sometimes. And trying to pass at like 55+ isn't easy keeping it below 2500 at that speed. But normally I don't even pass any more. That's a shit ton of wasted gas. Nowadays I just laugh when someone passes me even at those speeds, and I catch up to them down the road. And rubber neck at them and wave as I get next to them at the light or whatever. Now that's more fun! Haha.

 

Revtek leveling kit up front and clapped out stock leaf springs that need to be replaced, lol. Hence the squatting in the back. 285/75/r16 open country MTs.

 

Here’s mine

 

good looking truck. looks like you're running the stock 15" alloy wheels. do the tires rub at all with that setup?

 

Thank you, I inherited it from my dad. The wheels are 16” alloys, not stock 15’s. They do rub a little at full turn, nothing too bad though.

 

what's the BS on those steelies? Do you have any rubbing on the frame?

 

American Racing 16x8s I believe. And I only rub occasionally at full lock to either side, steering wheel cranked all the way.

 

Do you know the offset or backspacing on them? Just bought some 16x8 steelies with 4" backspacing so i'm trying to get an idea of what to expect as far as rubbing. I know i'll have to do some trimming on the pinch weld either way.

 

4.97 backspace with a 12mm offset.

Also they came with the truck, I'm not sure if the previous owner did any trimming. I'll poke my head around tonight in the wheel well and let you know, however when I did my brakes and rotors the other day I didn't notice anything but wasn't necessarily looking...

 

5" of backspacing? Hm yea I wonder if you're running spacers or something. Because as far as i've read and seen on the forums, you need at least 4"-4.5" of backspacing to prevent major rubbing with 33's of that width.

I could be wrong though. Lemme know what you find!

 

I know for sure I'm not running spacers, but yeah, I'll peek around and let you know!

 

Do you have full truck pics? This thing looks amazing!

 

Best ones I have on my phone, appreciate the kind words!

 

The black wheels with a white truck is such a good combination! Looks awesome!

 

Is that a fiberglass cab?

I want something like that but a RTT on top

 

Thank you!

Yes, its an ARE MX series cap with the walk-in door option.

 

Here is a pic of the only spot I rub with the 33s currently. Confirmed no spacers. Keep in mind though I haven't pushed this thing at all off-road, so I'm sure i might need some more trimming when I start trying to tuck the tires on any technical stuff. I've only owned it for about 2 months now. Driving on the road at full lock I rub there on the frame, but nowhere else.
