installed RC 2" level kit and put the Goodyear Duratrac 275/60/20 tires. does not rub but gets real close so I zip tied the liner .will post pics as soon as i can charge battery on camera. it rides better than stock.

How did you zip tie em? I zip tied mine but not happy with way I did it and looking for new ideas

Looks like the stick out about an inch right?

 

 

So a +18 offset would suck it back in 3/4" correct?

 

(I work on a construction site, don't want rocks/mud and crap all over the side of my truck)

Stock is about +27 I think, so +18 would give it a lil pop!

It's about an inch.

No worries, I appreciate it.

Pictures as promised :)

 

So, at full lock, I'm about 1/2 an inch from rubbing the back, and 2 inches from the front. This is with a 2" Fox level, +1 offset Fuel Assaults, and a 275/60/20 BFG KO2. There's no way I'd be able to get a 275/65/20 without trimming.

I just ordered a set of Toyo Open Country M/T 275/65r20. I am installing a 2.5" RC level lift Saturday. I wonder why some have had very minimal trouble with the 275/65r20 while you have difficulties at 275/60r20....Hopefully the install goes smooth. This makes me a bit nervous!

If I had gone with a less aggressive offset, I'm sure I could've gone with a slightly bigger tire. There were two options available for the Fuel Assault wheels, and I went with the more aggressive one.

Oh, I understand now. I appreciate the explanation!

 

Ok, there's still hope...there's still hope.

Thanks! I would plan on keeping my factory AT wheels and their offset would be different than the Fuel's. I'm assuming I'd have a little more room to play with, with the different offset.

Oh I agree. I'm pretty sure there are a few guys on here that went with the 275/65/20 on stock wheels. I believe the offset on the AT wheels is +27.

I kept stock AT wheels and went 275/65/20 on a 2.5" level. I did rub the carpet wheel liner but after zipties no rub

Got the front level on and the tires (Toyo Open Country M/T 275/65r20) today. Ran out of time due to family things. Putting the rear blocks on tomorrow!

Will I have problems with a 20x10 -12 offset wheel on a 2 inch level and 33x12.50 inch tires? I'd even consider a 305/55/20.

 

I've looked through this thread a couple times and I don't know if I've missed the info.

    • Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"
    • Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.    
    • Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!
    • This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
