Ok I have my truck at the lift shop and they won't even attempt to put my wheels on saying they will not fit. I have a 6 inch bds kit installed and I have gear alloy 726 big blocks 22x12 with -44 offset. I have seen a few trucks run them with 33s but I have 35s is this combination really impossible like they are trying to tell me?

I've seen it done on trucks with 33s and at least 7.5" of lift but not with a 6"

Ok I went pick up my truck without the wheels and tires on the owner of the shop pretty much convinced me that my combination will not work. The tires will fit no problem just not on these wheels. So I left with my truck on factory wheels and kind of like the look now I'm stuck with 22 inch wheels and tires thinking my truck would look good on 35s and factory 20s. I guess I will just look at some different 22s.

-44 offset is insane. And I thought my old M/T Classic II's with an offset of -22 was extreme. Look for a wheel with not so much offset. They will stick out too far and look goofy with that much offset. Look around the -10 to -20 mark... Mine are -12

It looks great if you do it right. Look up the "cen cal" style trucks. They run those super wide wheels

Ya it will look good but I don't know if it would even be possible. I have 35x12.5's on a 2500hd with 20x10's with 0 offset and they rub pretty easily.

I agree 100%. Mine sits at 7", and I had to cut a lot of metal to run 20x10's -24 offset and 35's. If he really wants to run those wheels though, he can make them work is all I'm saying. :cheers:

Ya I have. Mine set way down to 4" lift so my angles are damn near perfect but they rub pretty bad ahah. A -44 offset would be brutal I think.

Cparks555 can I add a body lift to my truck with the suspension lift too?

You sure can, either 1.5" or 3". They're relatively inexpensive as well compared to what you probably spent on your 22x12's, Blackout is running the same lift you have with a 3" body and 37's on 20x10's. Hopefully he will be along shortly to give you more info.

That is a nice thread but its hard to believe he has 37s with only the 6 inch lift. Here is a picture of my truck how it looks now with factories.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
