I can't afford to get the rims and tires I want right now and I can get the Futura Dakota's from Pep boys for around a hundred dollars a tire which is much cheaper than comparable tires of the same size. Has anyone out there had experience with these tires? If so what other cheap options do I have for 285/75/R16 tire? I have read about sidewall blowouts being a problem with these tires.

Thanks! ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

  You already know what I think about spacers but I will say those wheels do look great on your truck. Either way, I hope you find an outcome you’re happy with.

  Maybe put some weight in the bed to help it settle 🤷🏼

  Hi, I had a 2021 Elevation 1500 Sierra X31 (ext cab) 4x4 from new to 80 k miles, all on-road driving and essentially no towing or material loads in the bed. The truck originally felt a little unsettled over washboard type road surfaces, so I replaced all 4 factory shocks with Bilstein 5100's and that really seemed to help. Generally speaking I thought the truck drove great at that point. I traded it in on a '26, basically the same truck. The '26 has the single carbon fiber leaf in the rear, where the 2021 had the standard "old school" stacked steel leaf springs. I can't quite find the words to describe the ride of the 2026, but it feels "sloppy" on a paved but imperfect road. I can't tell if it needs a sway bar or something else. I did swap out the rear Rancho shocks with Bilstein 5100's and still have the same experience. Curious if anyone has had similar experience, and if you found a solution without spending a fortune.
