Yeah me too they remind me of a cement truck tire. The new x3's like mine are actually MT's not AT's but IMO they are kind of right inbetween the two which is why I like them. The x3 is supposed to out perform the old Grabber in every way tho.

When I first read up on the old gen tires on a jeep forum The old ones had problems with rain because the square design gave the water no where to escape.

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

Yeah I could definitely see that for sure. I never read reviews on them but I don't see how they'd be very good in the deep sticky mud either.

Well half the people in the world with big trucks don't off road, for example here's my sisters boyfriends truck. Will never see mud lol bf1eae6485a84259273e39d60f456e18.jpg

Yeah I also saw the reviews regarding rain issue which was a reason I didn't get them since we get lots of rain in norcal

Yeah that is very true. I must admit that my truck won't see any real deep mud and I have MT's so I guess I kind of fit into that category lol. But like I said originally I was looking for AT's and for the price difference to the X3 with red letters, it was a no brainer. I had 35x12.5 Duratracs on my 03 with 9" of lift and I loved them. Cool looking tire and performed well. That truck I did take into anything because she had a little rust on the rockers and I didnt feel so bad lol but anyways, regardless of what people are actually going to do with a set of tires, the tire manufacturer still has to keep in mind that if they market an MT tire, at least a fraction of buyers will actually use it for what it was intended and if you make a junk tire, the word will spread. Not good.

Well I might get the chance to test out the x3's in the rain Today. If so I'll chime in with any good or bad.

Not the x3s the old ones. The x3 have small slits to help with water

This is with a 2" Monofab kit, Moto Metal Razors 20x10" with Nitto Grappler G2's LT305/55/20's,65,000 Mile warranty, and no road noise approximately $300.00 per tire. Fender flares. The wheels have an offset that pushed them out almost 2" which is what I wanted. They do have some rubbing issues, may add the 1/2" spacer to the top of the strut. I love the way it looks now, not quite level, but everyone comments on how much they love the way the truck looks. You could get the 20x9" wheels, with 305x50x20's and probably have no issues, or even the wider wheels with the 50 series too

With just the leveling kit you can safely run and clear 33s. But regardless good pickup

That's what I have 33/12.50r20 no rub (as long as it's 4x4) 2x4 needs to get "sculpted" with a hammer lol

Question...

 

I've got a 2014 Z71 that I just purchased at "Ready Lift - 2.25" Leveling Kit."

Seems pretty self explanatory on the install, but I'm just curious about the "2.25"

 

Looking at the round spacers, they are only about an inch thick. And the little "C" shaped spacers that go on the bottom are only about 1/4".

 

Where are they getting 2.25"?

 

Thanks in advance.

For those of you that have already installed a leveling kit...Which did you go with and why?Do the new aluminum suspension parts impact the install?I hope to get one on my truck in the next couple weeks but want some insights first.

I went with the Rancho 2 inch Quick Lift Struts

Can you run 35s with that? Because a rancho rep told me I could. but

I can't seem to find anything

That would be great - everyone here does the 3.5 on stock wheels

I haven't seen anyone run 35's with a 2.5 level, much less a 2". If you find someone running them with that, please report back. Even stuffing 34's in there is really pushing it.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
