Finally got my Total Chaos kit installed

Looks awesome man, nicely done. ​

 

I haven't done CMC yet, but I'm prepared for it. But with my lift spindles, all of my travel is moved 4" lower, so I can fit much larger tires than most LT trucks. I cycled the 33x11.5 and it didn't rub. I'll probably stick with 33s just go up to 12.5, because it's still a 4 cylinder

 

I think you are thinking about the rim width issue backwards, a 1/2" narrower rim gives your tire a better IE: rounder sidewall which looks better, performs better and protects your rim better. Your truck your choice just speaking from experience and a lot of wasted money of wheels I have changed over the years.

 

Finally got it out of my shop and home to my parking garage. The alignment is no where close, but when Hurricane Harvey goes away, it's going to the alignment shop.

 

Woa I thought they were much thinner than that.

 

Finally got my front end aligned. Toe and camber are green, but caster is 4.0 and they said that's about what it should be on a setup like this. Any input? Drives great

 

Side view

 

4.0 is great caster

Please dont use lt spindles AND spacers

17s will fit . You planning on re gearing for 35s?

 

I'm 99% sure I'll probably stick with 33s, but I'm going to regear anyway.

 

If you are auto, I would recommend 35s if regearing to 4:56. If not, you will drop your mileage a few mpgs as your RPMs increase from where they are now.

 

Mines manual and 2.7

 

Not concerned with MPG, I don't daily drive it, I just want some more power to the ground. I'd rather have a better 0-70 than a gear capable of 100mph that the engine cannot turn that fast

 

With a manual and 33" tires, 4.56 gears will get you back to stock RPMs. I'm the same (2.7 and manual), and I'm planning on 4.56 gears after I step up to 33s. I'm on 265/70/17s (31.6") now, and I hate the lower RPMs that I'm running at. I have to downshift more often to get back into the powerband. It will just get worse on 33s with stock gears.

 

Damn man I didnt realize how bad you 4 bangers really have it.

 

Goals af!!!

 

Mine turns the 33s pretty decent on the street. But to be the whoop eater that I've envisioned before I engine swap it, it needs gears
