265/70/17 with 1.5 to 2in lift pics please

How are you liking the cooper st maxx?

 

I'll put it to you this way. Last year my buddy and I drove to his cabin to elk hunt. He had to chain up all 4 to get up a snow/mud laden hill (a ranch road) and I did not. We both had 3/4 Dodge diesel trucks. He ran BFG's, I ran Coopers.

They are an excellent tire and very common here in Montana, both MT and ST/Maxx.

 

Sub'd

 

Here's our customers truck with our Chase Kit ( Boxed upper arm and King 2.5 Coilovers w/ Reservoirs ) running a 285/75/16 BFG K02.

I believe his front is set at 2.5-3" of lift

 

Best size lift and tire size I've seen so far. Good stuff... What tires are those?

 

Thanks! They are Falken Wildpeak AT3W.

 

Which OME coils did you go with?

 

887's I had 3 inches in the front right after the install. They settled to exactly 2 inches after about a week.

 

Is that picture after it settled?

 

Yep!

 

Did you get the "softer" or "firmer" valving? I really want this lift. You just ordered the kit as is? Did you get the extra leaf they offer for $58 dolla?

 

These trucks look great with a modest lift as shown here. It gives them a much better sense of proportion. I used a TRD Pro suspension on my 2015 to the same effect. When the lift is modest, it brings a lot of advantages - no drive line issues, and better off road capability. I use stock tire size on mine, 265/65/17, with a Goodyear Duratrac. I need the stock gearing to pull a trailer, and it still looks good.

 

I got the soft valving and the full dakar leaf pack (no aal). I ordered it as a complete kit from Headstrong.

 

would you have a pic of the 265/65/17 setup on the duratracs? interested to see and compare.

 

Really love the way the truck looks, gives it a good stance.

How's the soft ride over the stock ride?
Do you have more or less body roll?
Im really digging the way it looks and would prefer to keep the factory rake as well, but did you get the 90021 over the 90000 due to off road comfort?

 

Hub to fender measurements ?

 

I tend to agree with this. While I think it's awesome that some guys really go all out on their off road rigs, it's just not my cup of tea. My build is to get me to the places where I like to do my hobbies (which are already expensive, lol). If I go to 'tall' it becomes a detriment. It's harder on my dogs to load in the back to go hunting.. on road handling can be problematic, towing my boat becomes a challenge.

I'll be a wimp and stay mild, lol.

 

The ride compared to stock is night and day difference. Stock sport suspension is harsh and bouncy. The OME setup is not bouncy and plush. Much less body roll and less nose diving under braking.

 

Unfortunately, I measured from the ground up (same spot and same tire pressures though) I have the #'s written down at home, but I believe the fronts are both @ 38 inches and the back is @ 39 inches. I'll double check tonight when I get home tonight.
