That's a nice set-up man. See the wheels are 17's, what are you running from a level/life perspective ?

Thank you! I ran with a 2.5 block lift in the front only. Left the rear stock. Life perspective no sure their? Lol

Man you're truck is so nice I wanted you to share your life's guiding principals so I could model them. [emoji6]

 

Actually, it's just a typo. Should have been level/lift.

295s on 0mm offset with a level will rub doing anything but straight highway driving.

Plenty of people on here running them to tell otherwise.

Yes they all claim "minimal". I had them and swapped down to 285. Still rubs the mud flaps at 2.5".

Tire brand/tread matter for sure. I have 275/60R20 and everyone swore they wouldn't rub with a level (some people even said they wouldn't rub without the level).

 

My duratracs rubbed the carpet liner...

I'm actually surprised by that. I have tires taller than that (same width) and mine dont rub now with a level and didn't rub before either.

 

but i'm not running duratracs.

It's not necessarily the tire size but the corner lugs you need to look at. Some tires round in before starting the lugs and some start on the side wall. Typically a more aggressive tire will have the lugs starting from the sidewall which can rub. It's a major difference between a passenger/AT tire and an MT tire like the Duratrac.

Got my new rims and tires put on. 295/70/17 ridge grapplers on Method mesh 0 offset. Haven't had any rubbing

What is your lift set-up?

Caster and camber can also affect where and if it rubs.

Just had these wheels installed last week.

I've had the tires a while and it's about time to get a new set.
Hoping to go with the new Falken AT3's in 305/65R18

No rubbing. Tires are a little cushy so makes for a good ride36749cafd4e22d50313e619f525be66e.jpg55f247135b29a33d53de135704051ea2.png

Let me know how the Falkens fit if you go that route. I've settled on Falken AT3s and Methods but torn between P285/70R17 (33x11.5) on 0 offset Methods or trying to cram those 305/65R18 on either -12 or +18 Methods. The P rated 17's would be way cheaper/more practical (and 16 pounds lighter) for me but I know I'd be happier with the 305's. Want real world feedback though!

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
