Recommended place to get methods? I ordered from autoanything thinking it would go smoothly, until reading horrid reviews and then pretty much experiencing a similar issue to a review i had read. I ordered them last night for 726$ free shipping, it was in stock and estimated to ship 2/9-2/13. I called today to verify that those rims were in stock. I was told yes and they would ship between now and monday. I get an email at 5pm CST saying for "unexplained reasons" the estimated ship date is now 2/28. Tires are already on the way from my local store, lugs on the way for the rims, just need to find the rims themselves.

I know when I ordered mine I got the last ones the dealer had in stock. I would try performance wheels and tires out in California. I've order two sets of wheels and tires from them and have been happy.

Link to their site? I've given thought to 4Wheelparts because they have a store in memphis, roughly an hour away from here.

2.5" RC Leveling Kit and 275/65R20 Goodyear Duratracs. The tires rubbed just slightly on the fender liner, a couple zip ties solved that. Thx Mr. Drag Sledder for the tips.

nice set-up! I'm most likely doing the same only a 2" Daystar level. 20x9 wheels 33" tires. Are all the Duratracs LT tires? They look sweet but don't want the extra weight and firm ride.

I think the 275/60 are P rated

Thanks! The ride is no different than the factory offroad Rancho suspension, They are not cranked all the way up, but I still have 3" of lift. The only difference I feel is the stiffer 12 ply tire and shorter sidewall.

Good deal! I've been eyeing that kit (or the Rough Country 3.5"), but if I go the full 3" I don't think I'll fit in my garage, haha. Good to know that kit still rides good at 3".

thx Jon.

 

that's my concern too, fitting in the garage... as it is my garage depth is only 232" and it barely fits in by a couple inches, short bed was a must for me....but also

needs to clear the door opening too!

That's only a 1" level? What brand?

It's a Summit Performance lower strut spacer lift made of Billet aluminum.

Id try going through where you got your tires, mine was willing to price match. Discount was going to order them for me but I ran across a killer deal on craigslist. 500 4 method NVs with TPMS.

$500 total for all 4 together??? New?

 

Jeez. That's crazy good if they're brand new.

Yeah i cancelled from Autoanything and found a set at 4wheels for 763$ called the 4wheels an hour from me and they said they could have them here by today at lunch. So i got those, which they price matched but hit me hard with TN tax. Ended up paying 832$ Pretty much my tax refund, but hell it saves me almost 250$ per set of tires. I should be going to get them today at lunch.

OEM 22x9 7-spoke wheels with black inserts CK156 RX1 wrapped with factory Dueller A/Ts. I can't justify buying anything else because I love the look. Possibly considering a level kit and some meatier tires in the future though.

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