Newfie1980 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 How does it drive now with those wheels I don't find much of a difference than with the stock goodyears.
Donstar Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 This afternoon I parked near a truck very similar to mine at the local mall. The key difference is that this other truck was leveled and had wheels and tires that maximized the space in the wheel wells. The truck looked fantastic! It made mine look like I was sporting four portable spare tires! My stock tires are 255/70r/17 and I plan to go to 265/70r/17 Michelin LTX/MS when I have my level kit installed. I know there isn't much of a difference but it is a much more popular size (less expensive) and they are at least a little bigger! Is if there anyone going with a larger tire on a 17" wheel with a 6cyl 4x4 Crew and not experiencing huge increases in gas consumption? Maybe 285/70r/17??

Donstar Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Your truck looks great! Is this a 4.3 L and if so, what was the original tire size? Thanks.

DPetry94 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Does anyone know the torque specs for the ball joint and sway bar that you have to loosen?

If so, thanks! It's a 5.3L.OEM tire size is 275/55/20. I just wanted a little more. They're flush to the fenders/quarters. Edited February 21, 2016 by TFTADetail

They're flush to the fenders/quarters. I imagine you didn't experience any changes in your mpg with such a minor change. I am guessing that if I was to go to a 285 from a 255 with my 4.3 L it would be reflected in my mpg quite significantly.
Imprtkllrz28 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I leveled my truck Sunday With Bilstein Very happy with how it came out. But I found an oil leak.
namanc6 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Looks good. Which specific bilstein did you get? I'm assuming the 5100 adjustable ride height. The reason I ask, is because I've gone to autoanything and 4wheelparts and both say that the adjustable ride height shocks don't fit my 2015 crew cab 4x4. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
YammieHauler Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 atay2011 I wanted to do the exact same thing. I got the Rough Country 2' level and put 305/65/18 BFG All Terrains on my truck. No rubbing at all - it looked great. So a 2.5" level should work great. So you got 2" level running 305/65/18 and no rubbing at all? stock or Aftermarket wheels?Any chances you got pics?
TWelshLTZ Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 2 in level on the from 295/55r20(33x12.2) toyo mt just got them put on today 1
