San Antonio

Well I would not feel so all alone,




Everybody must get stones!

 

I am running a 3 leaf aal in mine with the overload removed. Rides pretty good and gave me 1.5" of lift. I am not sure which aal it is but its the 3 leaf progressive style one.

 

Never know with this bunch. They are bad at posting on the FB page. Mark finds out more in "city business"!

 

Good evening folks

 

Howdy Robert

 

Hey there Maner, what's good man?

 

When I was "shopping", the OME setup from Toytec was the ONLY one that specifically called out "3" Lift in the rear" with their AAL. I do want level, and 3" all around. And I came to the reality of the lift shopping that keeps getting beat back by bills. I might just wait until March. Because then I will collect SS. And I could also collect my present retirement, before I cut it back. That means I could pay for it, not charge it. Also means I could decide Kings....

 

what's up Robert

 

Ahhh i see, sorry i must have missed that you were looking for 3" of lift. oh boy, LBR getting some kings?

Not much new man, going to work and trying to resist the urge to buy shit for the truck. You know, the usual stuff

Whats going on with you? Your truck's looking good with those new springs. How much lift did you end up with?

 

I sort of have 3" now, at least up front, with Marks OEM Billies and springs, and a spacer in back that is 1 1/2" I think, so I lean. I hate lean. The 17" and Pizza Cutters gave me a little rise too! I was shopping the OME for 3" level all around. May still do that. The waiting means I could decide either, without the $$$$ being the main thing!

 

I know what you mean, mine leaned for the longest time when i had air bags and i hated it too. Now that I have leaves out back and coilovers with 700lb springs I think mines somewhere around 3" up front and 1.5" out back and it sits pretty level. When i say level i mean it doesnt have any rake. if you do 3" up front and out back i would think you would have 2" of rake like stock

 

I like those pizza cutters. I am starting to lean towards a tall skinny 285 when i need tires again. Are yours 255/80/17? i have been thinking about 285/75/17 i think its around a 34. The truck is over geared right now for highway driving. Screams at 3500 rpms at 75mph

 

If you mean 2" in back with the AAL and new shocks, 3" front from whatever shock package = yes! I can live with the stock look up high! And no matter how many times I write it down, can never find it!



And I LOVE these Toyo Open Country AT. I am pretty sure the TW tire conversion has them at 34.1" - thanks to @MattCowsmasher , no rubs, issues or anything. They are highway quiet. Now, the only thing I hear if I turn down the radio, is the K&N tube howling along!

Edit PS: 2200 RPM at 75 on the highway.

 

What’d I do now?
I like those tires you got Kurt they should be right at 33.
285/75/17 is a 34 on my rims they are 33.6.

 

Robert you’ll like that size size you already prefit for 295s shouldn’t be an issue.

 

Yes that's what I meant sorry! That should be pretty level, maybe just a little rake, which looks good on a truck anyways.

Sounds like a good tire, I am running cooper st maxx and they're surprisingly quiet on the pavement even as they're wearing down. I like them a lot but man they are expensive.

Man that must be nice 2200 RPMs on the hwy probably sips the gas compared to mine

How wide are your rims sir? That effects the diameter of the tire once mounted right? Kinda hard to wrap my head around that

Yeah I'm hoping they'll rub a little less. The 295s get cozy with everything at full lock right now lol. Hoping a little less width will help

 

For sure these rims are 9in wide.
With the stock rims the pizza cutters were right at 32.8 on these 32 even.

 

You helped me (after I bugged you 150 times) get the right size for no rub on those 17's I picked up! thanks!

 

You’re no bother just happy to help when I can. They’re my favorite tire size.
