Keystone State Thread

I am not sure, but i think the offroads are a slightly different set of specs. I think they have an offset as mine are 0. I also think the backspacing is 4.3 instead of 4.5 The factory is also 7 wide instead of 7.5. I have no idea what all of that means, but have read through the threads a few times trying to figure out what i will need to go to 285 and have the best chance without rubbing and not running a wheel spacer.

 

Anybody upgrading tires? I want to go back to stock size and maybe take lift off as well.

 

Some say with the 2nd gen.factory offroad wheels I would have to run .75 wheel spacers with my spc uca's I don't know still trying to figure it out

 

I have stock size BFG KO2s.

 

How much life left on them and how much or would u Wana trade for 33?

I wish i could offer some insight into this, but the whole thing was too technical for my simple mind. I now know the terms offset, backspace, ect...I even have an idea of how to measure to get those number. There was very little discussion on what combos seem to work with what. To me that information is way more important than know how to measure and get the numbers. Just give me the combo that works and i'll find something with those specs. Sometimes i think people get off by writing very technical write ups, but i am not a mechanic or an engineer. I'm just too cheap to pay someone for something i can figure out myself most of the time. Especially with the help from the few that genuinely want to help members out. i think the 4.5 with 0 offset is a good combo, and what i have stock. I still had some rubbing of the mudflap, and fender flare. Minor and alleviated with extremely minimal trimming.

 

They have about half life left. I can send a couple pictures over later today. how much tread do you have left?

 

Mine about 80 or more

 

Are you dropping for mileage or just don't go off-road? Prepping for a trade in?

 

I want to go back to stock height and have to put stock size tires on to avoid rubbing. Milage maybe one of them but I don't drive it much. Never been off-road and probably never will so no point of having extra stuff, plus this way dealer can't bitch about lift and warranty stuff since I have extended one. Not into truck anymore but I need it for house and carry big stuff once in a while, I got STI couple month back so money go in that lol

 

This 3" lift is useless for me. Pita to get in the truck and get out lol. I might keep lift but get smaller springs or just put everything back to stock

 

Just tires right?

 

I think your right about that wheel size and it seems like everytime you modify something on these trucks it has an effect on something else when doing my lift I ended up replacing lower control arms because of seized cams and replaced uppers to get better steering even ended up doing my own alignment because of alignment techs that couldn't or didn't want to give what I was looking for.

 

Exactly where i was going with this. Didn't want to be the part out guy, but wondering what all you may have to get rid of.

 

I wouldn't mind with wheels but would need pressure sensors in urs and depending what wheels I have procomp black with polished face

 

I have 3rd gen sport rims. I have the sensors but not in them they would have to be mounted.

I guess upper control arms light racing I think. I think that's all

 

I didn't perform my own alignment because i refused to. But had to same issue with my shop. I even highlighted the instructions for them. They moved the wheel forward, but the balljoint is still at the 2 degree mark, and i couldn't have made myself clearer that i wanted 3,0,0, I even highlighted the picture of the UBJ showing the positioning for 3 degrees. First time i paid because i was ignorant. The second time they ate it because they didn't follow my directions. I've just dealt with it as it wasn't bad once i trimmed the lip on the fender flare that wraps to the mudflap.

 

Doesn't help me out, but good luck with your endeavor.
