...  But the BFGs really do look good on our trucks.  

I agree...i fall into the category that I need my AT tires about 5 times a year(maybe more, but they are all hunting related)...the rest I could just have hw tires...but the 5 times I need them...i NEED them...

 

Michelin makes a fantastic tire and I put them on my wife's vehicle...

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.

I just put a 2.5 in leveling kit on my 2015. Do y’all think I’ll have to trim to try and fit 285/75/17 with methods? 


I’m thinking of doing the same, let me know what you come up with. There was someone on here that did it with bilsteins which are 1.85”, don’t remember the username though

trying not to hijack this thread, but in looking at the KO2s, is it worth $80 to go up to a 275/60 over the factory 275/55?  It looks like Costco is running a promo on BFGs as well.  Trying to figure out if there's really any real benefit to just an 1" taller tire?

i prefer an 18" rim on 4x4...having said that...for 20's i would recommend as much rubber as you can fit...more comfortable ride...

With money being the way it is, I decided to just go with the 275/55s and put the additional money towards an alignment after i get them installed.  i was also worried that Costco would freak out about installing a non oem listed size.

So here are after pic's.  I went with larger Toyo Open Country's on the stock rims.  I am really loving it, but may bump the back an inch.

Hi everyone! I don’t post a lot but have an important question? I see a lot of ppl saying 275/60r20 works fine with a stock a suspension (no rubbing). I have an 18 with a 2.5 level and just ordered some BFG kos 275/65/20.....answers seem to vary but should I expect an type of rubbing? Wheels are stock atm.

2.5” motofab leveling kit with Ready lift UCAs, 20x9 Moto Metals wrapped w/ 33” nittos 

Nice setup!what offset are those rims? Any rub? I’m also looking at the Ready loft UCA. Question I have is how much offset should I run with 20” rims? Website says +6 with a 33” tire for no rub. Does that mean I can run less than +6 and be ok? Say 0 or -12. Appreciate any info.

I got +18 offset, I would say they stick out about 1-2” from the fenders, they do rub on the UCAs at full lock, (slightly) but they do not rub in the wheel wells, I also didn’t cut my bump stops, but I’m going to and I can get back to you if they still rub on the UCAs, I also want to try MotoFabs UCAs they’re brand new and made for their leveling kits, they might not rub on the UCAs

On my 2018 and when it was leveled, 2.25” level up front will allow a +18 offset wheel with 285/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers without requiring new UCA’s but did require zip ties on the fender liner. I also replaced the rear 1” with a 2” and installed new Bilstein 5100’s. Looked good but Rode harsh.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
