    It's going on Wednesday ;)

    The shocks in the rear are aftermarket and the fronts are factory as far as I can tell. My leaf springs almost lay flat on my overloads and my bumpstops are very good friends with my frame! There is a distinct clean spot on the bump pad thing on the frame from where the bump stop hits it so much haha.

    ------------------------------

    On an IFS Taco, ride height, high, low, sagging or new has absolutely nothing to do with tire rubbing with in the suspension travel, again nothing. The suspension travel has not changed, only the point where rubbing may or may not be encountered.

    As far as power, half an inch change in tire radius can be thought of as about the same as the difference between a new tire and the same tire bald.

    It's less than 3.5". Like I said, it did not rub on stock wheels but my ride height with stock suspension and my MT wheels cause rubbing issues on level ground. If I were lifted or even just not sagged I would NOT have these issues on level ground but rubbing would still be an issue when offroad.

    Hey Monte

    32x11.5 will be okay on my 15x7 in wheel, right?

    Seems like the 11.5" width might be too much for a 7" rim... but what do I know?

    Will it wear funny?

    Hmmm..it'll be a tiny bit wide..but not too bad. Really not any wider then a 12.5 on a 8" rim.

    You'll be fine. Just do the chalk test to find the most ideal pressure to run with your truck and it will wear even.

    Yeah, I've always heard of "the bulge" (no homo) when you start putting a wide tire on a slimmer rim.

    When I was at Discount looking at tire prices, the guy plug the 32x11.5r15 in the computer for my truck and received no warnings or red flags, so he said I'd be good to go.

    But I trust here more than him.

    Yea it's not an uncommon size to upgrade too. I'm sure you will be fine.

    Nothing exciting for me. Just an oil change and 2 new tires after discovering I had one-side wear :frusty:

    I'll pay more attention this time, I swear!
