Leveled on 265/70’s

Ha! All good.

I definitely agree regarding the 285s. I was thinking about getting some but CMC, no front mudflaps, bunch of trimming and like you mentioned worse MPGs and they are heavy. Well C load KO2s in 285 are only 51#, which is amazing, but still.

At the most I’ll go up to C load in 275, just sucks that the tire choices are limited in that size.

 

Very soon brother!!! Cheers

For you guys that did a block in the rear, you get a tapered block or shims? I've read a lot of mixed things about vibrations without the taper or shims.

 

I ran 1.5” tapered block before I got AAL. Worked great. Now waiting on Icon leaf pack to arrive Never stops

 

I did the suspension lift in the back, so dobinsons leafs. I had to get 4 degree shims to fix the vibrations.

It seems to be hit and miss with these trucks, regarding ECGS bushings and shims after lift.

 

Been using a one inch block, not tappered, no shims and no vibrations. The shop that does all the dealers around here doen't use shims when blocks are used.

 

Bilstein 6112 in the front, Bilstein 5160 in the rear. Fully extended to 5/6. All pro leaf springs.
Probably about 2.5" of lift, but I'm not actually sure.
BFG KO2 265/70/17

Don't love the look of it. I think I need to reduce the lift by an inch or so. I'd also like to change the rim size. Too much rim for me. 265/70/16 and less fender gap would be a lot better. Maybe I'll find someone to trade with.

For anyone curious, I measure 38.5 to the ground from the rear fender flare and 23.75 to the center of the hub. Front is 37.75 to the ground and 23 to the hub. Not sure what that amounts to for a lift from stock.

 

I actually swapped tires to 255/80r17 and love them even more.

 

Man that looks nice. That’s actually the tire I wanna get too, AT3s look like a very good tire.

255s look just like 265s width wise. I’m on the fence still because I wanna keep my front mudflaps. Also, there are much more choices with 255 vs 275. Hmmmmmm

 

That looks great! Those new pro wheels look great. I debated on them, but went with Motegi MR150, I'm getting tires this weekend once my lugs show up.

 

i couldnt fit mud flaps on my no lift 265 with -12 offset. full lock they rubbed. hoping with a 2" lift they will clear. just need a warm weekend to find out

 

Good point, my Sport doesn't have mudflaps.

 

I rubbed on mud flaps with 265 0 offset and no lift. I was rather surprised. I rub at full lock as well turning into my driveway on the drivers side. Its tolerable right now until I get my eibach kit on in the spring. No fun wrenching in negative temp weather without a heated shop. Im hoping I can use the flaps once Im lifted. I cringed every time I drive on a gravel road haha.

 

What offset are these wheels? Liking the poke

 

Those look to be the Motegi MR150 I posted on post 73. Mine are 17x8.5 0 Offset

 

Close, they're the Motegi 149's

 

Ah that's right, I keep getting them mixed up. As I was looking at both.
