    from what I've heard in terms of longevity Icon isn't much better.
    Don't they have a rebuild schedule of every 18 months?
    Then again they are rebuildable and thats probably if you beat the shit outta them.

    I'm pretty sure your rig will not get flamed.

    EXCEPT, the fact you are basically just a mall crawler since she never got a chance to see the off road ::pout:

    love them so far. I've got about 5k on them and they ride great, relatively quiet for as agressive as they are, tough as hell, and great traction on pretty much anything (of course not much is good on ice). They clear great with 2.5" lift in the front. I haven't needed a cmc yet and had already removed the flaps and trimmed the bottomcorners of the flares for the 285's. I've always been a wider tire kinda guy and that took a little getting used to but the size is perfect for these trucks IMHO. The only negative is the weight each tire/wheel weighs in at 87 pounds and I thought for my 2.7 it may be too much but it hasn't been. I didn't notice a whole lot of difference

    LoL you never been out to plant under construction lol. It's an offroad experience like no other lmao. Only down side is I can't take pictures lol, but in all seriousness after my rig is back up and running I will try to go offroading more often. Especially since my bed sides will be mounted. (Assuming the insurance fixes it or lets me buy it back if the total it)

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Make sure you do this for maximum traction.

    I haven't checked to be honest. Truck isn't my dd so wasn't overly worried but I did drive it for a 3 day stretch (65 miles 1 way) and didn't notice much difference. I'm sure it hurt it some but as heavy as they are I think the smaller contact patch decreases the effect some

    Now my question to the OP is have you been able to get anything out of this? There's a huge amount of options for you to be able to choose from. Pick what works best for you and WGAF what the rest of us think it's your truck. We, as a community can only give opinions.

    He's learned that on factory suspension with factory wheels, and zero trimming- even factory mud flaps(!), he can put on 12.5x35's and have no rubbing at all. At full lock, of course, 'cause some guy on the forum said it worked "on his truck."
