I have a 2" fabtech leveling kit and want to throw on either the rc 1.25" body lift or the zone 1.5". I'm sure the extra .25" is irrelevant, but I was wondering if i could clear 275/70/18 trail grapplers on stock wheels with the set up- I know I will need wheel spacers as well. They are roughly 33.2 by 10.8. Does anyone see any problems with this set up? Do I maybe need to step up to a 2.5" leveling kit as well? All advice and feed back will be much appreciated.

Nittos run larger than some of the others and they list that tire at 33.62 x 11.10. The stockers will save you some headache, but wheel spacers won't help you, and aren't needed. I'd go with a 3" body lift, or expect to cut a lot.

Should I look to use another 275/70/18? one that lists closer to 33.2?

The cooper 275/60/20 fit with just a 2" leveling kit. So do the BFG A/T in 275/70/18.

 

Like Blackout said if the tires run large it will rub some. A friend of mine had 275/65/20 in Nitto Terra and they didn't rub, but he bought the truck that way so maybe someone trimmed.

I found that the mickey thompson atz/mtz's list at 33.4, and so does the toyo open country. WIll this .2 of height make any difference? I'm not afraid of trimming plastic but that's all I want to touch. If anyone has another tire size for an 18 inch rim that will work please let me know, I am already running 285/65 on a leveling kit with zero issues.

I have the RC leveling kit with the RC 1.25 body lift and I'm running 275/60/20 Cooper Zeon LTZ's

Do you have any issues with rubbing?

 

p.s. your truck looks great I am definitely going for your set up if I can find a tire size thats close to yours

 

 

No rubbing issues now, I had some rubbing on my OEM mudflaps with just the leveling kit, which is why I chose to add the 1.25 bodylift. I did not want to remove my flaps. I also felt that the tire looked "stuffed" in the front. I had a guy think it was a 2500 not a 1500.

I would consider getting different wheels. My dad is running 275/70/18 Cooper Zeon LTZ's on a set of Centerline wheels with +6 offset and a 2" leveling it, and it rubbed ever so slightly on the mudflap screws, so we replaced it with a rivet and now all is well again.

 

If you want some pics, let me know

I appreciate it, However I really want to keep my stock wheels, I have the all terrain wheels and I feel it would be a waste of money to get different wheels when I already have nice ones, I'll sacrifice tire size before I change my wheels.

Your wheels aren't the issue at all. The factory backspacing will always allow for larger tires. Keep your wheels, get the tires you want, and get a 3" body lift.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
