Im getting a BDS 6.5" lift and I cannot use my current Denali 18" wheels without spacers. I want to go with a Nitto Terra size below. I see all kinds of wheels to choose from but want to keep the tires from sticking out too much. Any help or links is appreciated

 

LT295/70R18E dia 34.41 width 11.77

you need a wheel somewhere in the 0 to +18 offset if you're looking to have the tire stick out a little or sit pretty much flush with the fender.

Those tires are a little on the small side for this lift, especially if your going conservative on the wheels. I would urge you to get a true 35x12.50 or even a 13.50 wide. I would also go with a 20" wheel, and let those bad boys out of the wheel well.

Hard part is telling the wife why the lift is more important than new kitchen cabinets, Gonna have a hard time winning that one. :)

I choose that tire because I noticed the other tires have a pressure limit on them of 50psi and I was worried about the TPMS going off. Im looking for the best offsets for it to stick out up to an inch on the 3/4 ton. Im not sure the offsets are the same for 1/2 ton as the 3/4 ton

Those are all good choices. You're limited greatly by the new bolt pattern right now. There just aren't as many choices. And offset is offset, regardless of the truck in this case.

All three are 20x10 -24 offset 8x180

 

Check outhttp://rimzoneonline.com/ and I don't think there is a difference in how much the tire would stick out on a 1500/2500 if I understand you correctly.

Take my advice if you get BMF's don't get the death metal machined ones. Just get te death metal, they don't seal the bare aluminum on the machine ones mine are oxidizing like crazy and they won't offer any help at all. They don't have a solution for it either other than replace them with the same inferior product. I for one will not buy BMF's again, they look awesome but they didn't seal the aluminum. They aren't even that old and they are oxidizing...

 

Nice choices on rims by the way too

seems like all the 35" tires use 50psi max is this going to be an issue with my rear tpms

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
